I spent 13 years, from 1986 to 1999, performing as an actor in the National Black Touring Circuit's production of I HAVE A DREAM, telling the story of Martin Luther King Jr. I played all the white characters, from Bull Connor to JFK, and was the only white member of the cast.
It was a musical, multimedia show, with slides and screens. I even sang a solo song, portraying a white man who was killed while marching for civil rights for all.
It wasn't a year long gig: we went out in January and February, usually, centered around MLK's birthday and black history month. When I first started doing it, it was my only paying gig, and I was so grateful for it.
But even after my film career got going, I did it whenever I could, because I loved the people I worked with and I loved the message we spread. And the audiences loved the show. It brought the right mix of emotion and message, and honored Dr. King's work. We even performed at the MLK center in Atlanta, for Coretta King herself. I will never forget meeting her.
It remains my longest and best theatrical experience. I still have a good friend from that production. Woodie King Jr. was the producer, a legendary giant of New York theatre, who passed away within the last year.
The demand for the show dried up. Why?
Because the Democrat party no longer supports Dr. King's vision for this country as a color blind society.
Without racism as an issue, the Democrat party has nothing. So Dr. King, for them, fell out of fashion.
MLK's dream is not just useless to them. It is the exact opposite of what they want, which is to divide us by race and pit us against one another to increase their power through grievance, hate, and division.
The modern Democrat party no longer reveres Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
He wasn't racist enough for them.
Dr. King had a dream, but that dream no longer suits the Democrat party.
And in fact, if you look back through the history of the party -- perhaps it never did.
This latest Supreme Court ruling reflects EXACTLY what Dr. King fought and died for.
King didn’t want us racially segregated by Congressional district. He wanted us to vote based on character, record, and merit - not by race.
Dr. King would be proud this Supreme Court has diversified our districts to reflect America. #MLK #SCOTUS #UNITY

Did you know that in the last four years, +200 Christian churches in Canada have been vandalized/burned?
That's 50 p/yr.
That's 1 p/wk.
Now take a stab at how many Mosques have been similarly attacked in the same timespan.
