Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum: 'King: A Reflection on the Life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.' with Sandra Seaton & George Shirley 7 PM Friday, Feb. 13, 2015

Friday, February 13, 2015 - 7:00 p.m.
GRAND RAPIDS, Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum
King: A Reflection on the Life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. is a spoken word piece written by playwright/librettist Sandra Seaton accompanied by spirituals performed by tenor George Shirley with pianist Stanley Waldon.  King, a mixture of poetry and brief reflections, remembers Reverend King as an individual with human limitations who nevertheless answered the call to leadership. His life serves as a model for all, especially the young, to believe that anything can be achieved with a dream and the will to lead.  The work, divided into four sections, “Nobel-man,” “Chicago,” “Bottles and Rocks,” and "Memphis 1968,” takes us on the journey of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. as he struggled to bring civil rights to the United States.
