Created and performed by the talented and charismatic Deondra Kamau Means, this one-man show explores the real person behind the pictures, a funny intelligent, passionate man whose faith, family and education made him one of the most revered people in our nation’s history. VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED. This performance contains historically-accurate quotes using words or expressions which may be considered insensitive by varying degrees.
Featuring PICK-A-PATH: A fun, interactive component to the course where your class (or students at home) can “choose their own adventure” by making different choices along the way.
