Event
The 7th Annual "Fate Comes Knocking"
Fate Comes Knocking views the life and times of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. through the eyes of the people who observed his life plus the national and world events that would shape him.
Author Ricardo Pitts-Wiley describes Fate Comes Knocking as a "pea shelling play." The characters in the show, in a time honored tradition, gather on the porch to shell peas, converse, sing and reflect on the times and the man they knew from their childhood.
Fate Comes Knocking takes a humorous and sometimes critical look at King's life and against a backdrop of dramatic events in America, including the Montgomery Bus Boycott, John F. Kennedy, The March on Washington, Malcolm X, The Vietnam War, Lyndon Johnson, The Women of the Civil Rights Movement, and the Black Panthers.
The play also examines the fateful circumstances that took King from the privileged life of a prominent preacher's son to the dusty, dangerous back roads of Alabama and Mississippi, to the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and the Nobel Peace Prize.
