Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater’s Vernard J. Gilmore performs an excerpt of Hope Boykin’s r-Evolution, Dream. in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
r-Evolution, Dream. was inspired by the speeches and sermons of Dr. King, which Boykin listened to during a visit to the Center for Civil and Human Rights in Atlanta, GA. The video also features original music by Eli Jackson with narration by Leslie Odom, Jr.
