SUMMARY:Martin Luther King\, Jr. in Black History Live Tour – Pueblo
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 partner Pueblo Community College. \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:Rosa Parks in Black History Live Tour – Pueblo
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 partner Pueblo Community College. \nRosa Parks (1913-2005)\nRosa Parks\, even as a child\, challenged Jim Crow. She understood herself to be a child of God. That knowledge fueled her sense of civil rights and personal dignity. She seemed fearless. After all\, she had witnessed her grandfather taking an armed stand against the Ku Klux Klan. She dared to throw bricks at white boys taunting her brother. She stood up to angry white mothers. All of which led her grandmother to exclaim\, “Rosa Louise MacCauley! You’re going to be lynched before you get out of high school!” \nAs Parks grew into womanhood\, her fears about lynching increased; however\, her commitment to changing America also increased. She married a man already involved in raising money for the defense of the Scottsboro boys\, and she became the secretary of the Montgomery Chapter of the NAACP\, a job that involved recording incidents of civil rights abuses and police brutality\, as well as writing protest letters to legislators and newspapers. Parks challenged segregation at every turn\, with only partial success\, until the day she took action to defend her personal rights and suddenly galvanized the Black people of Montgomery to take a stand together. Change in America was on the way with the Montgomery Bus Boycott – the only protest of its size\, length\, and impact in the history of the United States. Hear Parks talk about how and why it happened. \nAbout Becky Stone\nBorn and raised in Philadelphia\, PA\, Ms. Stone became a storyteller upon moving south. She holds a B.A. in Drama from Vassar College and an M.A. from Villanova University in Elementary Educational Counseling. Her acting credits include Lime Kiln Arts Theater\, VA; Warehouse Theatre\, Greenville SC; Haywood Arts Regional Theatre\, Southern Appalachian Repertory Theater\, Asheville Community Theatre\, Highland Repertory Theatre\, Asheville Contemporary Dance Theater in Asheville and Merida\, Mexico\, and Asheville on Broadway. Ms. Stone has also presented at North Carolina and Colorado Humanities Chautauqua festivals and Black History Live tours as Maya Angelou\, Harriet Tubman\, and Josephine Baker.
