Begins with white spotlight only on Ashley - rest of stage in darkness
After saying 'I have a dream', spotlight fades and red/white wash light opens stage to reveal dancers and to start 'Strange Fruit' - Ashley is now faded out in darkness to take away focus while not saying speech (Every time he continues speech, spotlight will appear over him).
Update rehearsal on dance piece (more movement added/changed)
Update on MLK Speech
Ashley has decided upon a section of the speech to perform:
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."
one day right there in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.
I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood.
Free at last! Free at last!
Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!3
