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.
