Darryl Van Leer

Performed by American stage and screen actor Darryl Van Leer Through extracts from the “I Have a Dream” speech, other speeches and writings of Dr Martin Luther King Jr, you learn how an unknown young preacher is propelled onto the world stage by Rosa Parks’ action and how his oratory becomes synonymous with the civil rights movement.

As he turns his attention to poverty and war, his days on earth become numbered and he finds himself compelled to deliver words that he knows spell out his own death sentence.
