Jim Lucas
Portrays the life and times of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Jim Lucas has received acclaim across the nation for his stirring and dramatic recitations and interpretive readings depicting the life and times of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. A student of the teachings of Dr. King, Jim Lucas is an advocate of his philosophy of non-violent civil action to affect social change. In August 1983, Lucas attended the 20th Anniversary of the March on Washington. It was during that march that Lucas received the inspiration to learn and later recite Dr. King's speeches. Since then, he has traveled through out the United States, Japan, and Korea delivering various renditions of Dr. King's "I Have A Dream," "I've Been to the Mountaintop," and excerpts of the Letter from Birmingham Jail, with personal insights on the civil rights movement then and now, in a dramatic one-man show.
Jim Lucas' stage credits include co-starring in the critically acclaimed play, The Meeting, a powerful drama about the lives, philosophies, and times of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X.
