ACTOR GERALD C. RIVERS RECREATES SPEECHES OF DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. AT SATURDAY AFTERNOON’S MLK CELEBRATION IN CULVER CITY
Much to his own surprise, classically trained actor Gerald C. Rivers has established a curious career for himself recreating the speeches of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the legendary civil rights leader who was assassinated in 1968.
Raised in Compton and educated at Morehouse College in Atlanta, Rivers first memorized and performed a King speech as a teenager from a record his grandmother had given him. More than 30 years later, he’s still performing at least three different shows he’s developed from King’s writings in which he eerily captures King’s passionate delivery, vocal tone and cadence.
