SUMMARY:Martin Luther King\, Jr. in Black History Live Tour – Fort Collins
DESCRIPTION:Black History Live tour is an annual recognition each February of the significant contributions African Americans have made and continue to make to art\, culture\, economic development\, education\, human rights\, medicine\, public services\, politics\, and sports. This year’s statewide tour will feature the living-history portrayals of Rosa Parks by nationally acclaimed scholar/actor Becky Stone\, and Martin Luther King\, Jr. by scholar/actor Marvin Jefferson. \nThank you to our partners Front Range Community College and Poudre River Public Library District. \nDr. Martin Luther King\, Jr. (1929-1968)\nReverend\, theologian\, civil and human rights leader and arguably the “greatest American of the 20th century\,” Dr. King embodied all of these things but would be the first to disown most of the titles afforded him. An intensely guilt-ridden yet brilliant man who rose to greatness during the most eventful years of the Civil Rights Movement. \nBorn in Atlanta\, Georgia in 1929 and raised in a middle-class African American community by his parents\, Rev. and Mrs. Martin Luther King\, Sr.\, Dr. King’s relationship with the Black church\, his optimism in human nature\, and his inner knowledge of the worth and dignity of African American people was nurtured in his early years. \nIn 1953 he married Coretta Scott\, and in 1954 he was appointed pastor of the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery\, Alabama; this would essentially mark the end of his “quiet middle-class existence.” For the next 13 years he would be at the forefront of a movement that would become known as “the second American Revolution.” \nFrom the Montgomery Bus Boycott (1955-56) to the Poor People’s campaign (1967-68)\, his life was filled with immense joy\, pain\, triumph\, tragedy\, hatred\, and most of all\, love. \nAbout Marvin Jefferson\nMarvin Jefferson has an extensive background as a professional actor. He studied acting at the Mason Gross School of Arts at Rutgers University\, and from 1981 – 1996 he was the producer/artistic director of the Ensemble Theatre Company in New Jersey\, a professional acting company that he co-founded. Between 1997 and 2009 he performed the Paul Robeson Chautauqua character for the entire Newark\, New Jersey school district. He prepared for his portrayal of Robeson by attending the Annual Great Plains Chautauqua in West Fargo\, North Dakota. From 2005 – 2010 Jefferson appeared as Robeson in the Colorado\, Maryland\, South Carolina\, North Carolina\, Ohio and Nevada Chautauqua festivals. During this time he also began his Chautauqua portrayal of Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr. Jefferson taught acting for the summer programs at Essex County College\, the New Jersey Institute of Technology\, the Franklin Township Department of Social Services of New Jersey\, and the Newark School of Arts. He currently teaches acting at Bloomfield College.

SUMMARY:Fort Collins - Black History Live Tour
DESCRIPTION:The February 2023 Black History Live! statewide tour will feature the living-history portrayal by nationally acclaimed scholar/actor Becky Stone of Josephine Baker\, a world-renowned performer\, World War II spy\, and civil rights activist. At each site on the tour\, Stone’s Black History Live portrayal will be followed by a Q&A\, first with the character Josephine Baker\, and then with the scholar/actor Becky Stone. \nStone says of Josephine Baker\, “On her world tours\, Josephine visited ‘the people\,’ gave interviews\, appeared at universities and political gatherings\, and was hosted by royalty and political leaders. She also spoke publicly about the oppressive race relations in the United States. She never spoke against America. She simply spoke about life in our country for people of color. The United States government did not like it. The foreign press was covering the atrocities of Jim Crow and how it pervaded American life. And here was a prominent American providing the Soviet propaganda machine evidence that democracy was a fraud. Suspecting her of being a Communist\, the FBI investigated her and found that she had absolutely no ties to the Communist Party here or abroad. Her mission was simple – pressure America to live up to its promises.” \nAbout Black History Live!\nNow in its 14th year\, Colorado Humanities’ Black History Live! tour is an annual recognition each February of the significant contributions African Americans have made and continue to make to art\, culture\, economic development\, education\, human rights\, medicine\, public services\, politics\, and sports.
