An authority on the life and words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Barry Scott has created his tribute to Dr. King to teach a generation of students about one of America’s most violent and inspiring times and the man who literally change the entire nation. Not only does Scott discuss Dr. King in his lecture and through open forum with his audience, he actually become Dr. King as he performs some of the most inspiring speeches this world has ever heard! Scott is so convincing in his portrayal of Dr. King that Coretta Scott King once cornered him between acts of a play to compliment him on his realistic and honest depiction of her late husband. In 1994, he performed excerpts of King’s speeches for the Humanitarian Awards Ceremony honoring President Jimmy Carter. He also performed the “I Have a Dream” and “I’ve Been to the Mountaintop” speeches on the March On album benefiting the National Civil Rights Museum.
