SUMMARY:One Day: Dublin's Civil Rights Experience
DESCRIPTION:Relive a powerful chapter of Dublin’s legacy during One Day: Dublin’s Civil Rights Experience February 7th\, April 18th\, and August 1st at 10 AM\, a powerful reader’s theatre held in the very church where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave his first public speech at age 15. \nStep back in time to 1944 in Georgia. \nJim Crow laws had a stronghold. The South stood divided\, not by borders\, but rather by color. Where you shopped\, how you traveled\, when you could speak\, what you ate\, and how you lived was determined by the color of your skin. \nOne fateful day in 1944\, a young man on edge came to Dublin\, Georgia where he gave a speech during a contest. His words stirred souls and he won the contest. From that high\, he loaded a bus\, proud and confident. Then came a moment that solidified his future: he was commanded to sit in the back of the bus. An ordinary moment. An ordinary bus. An ordinary command for its time. \nAn extraordinary boy. \nOne Day\nStep into the world of a young Martin Luther King\, Jr. Journey into the South in 1944 during One Day: Dublin’s Civil Rights Experience\, reader’s theatre where you are the actor. This living play chronicles the Civil Rights Movement\, capturing it through the lives and legacies of those who lived it. Dublin’s rich Civil Rights history is detailed\, including highlights of the speech King gave on that fateful day\, April 17\, 1944 when he was first asked to step to the back of the bus. Other highlights include a focus on Herbert “Hub” Dudley\, African American entrepreneur who built a business empire in Dublin. One of his many notable contributions: owning and operating the Dudley Motel\, Retreat\, and Amoco Service Station where Dr. King\, Andrew Young\, Maynard Jackson\, and other notable Civil Rights leaders met\, strategized\, and stayed as they travelled across the Southeast. \nYour Role\nGroups of all sizes are welcome. This experience is intended for all ages. There are reading role and nonspeaking roles. Everyone plays a part\, even if as a witness to the history as it unfolds. \nEach person will be given a role card\, detailing their part. \nThe reverse of the card gives a deeper history on a person\, place\, or event during the Civil Rights Movement. \nA leader will guide groups through the experience. \nThe experience is held inside Dublin\, Georgia’s historic First African Baptist Church where Martin Luther King\, Jr. gave his first public speech at the age of 15 on April 17\, 1944. A guided tour of the church is included\, and guided tour of MLK Monument Park can be requested. \nCost\n$8+ fees per person\, advance tickets only.  \nClick HERE to get tickets\, available now! Each attendee receives a special MLK souvenir during the event courtesy of Visit Dublin GA. \nEvery ticket purchased helps preserve history. All proceeds are collected and returned to First African Baptist Church to support the continued care and restoration of this historic site. No portion of ticket sales is retained by Visit Dublin GA. \n(Additional dates for groups can be arranged upon request. Special group rate $5 per person for groups 10 and more.
