Play brings King back to life in Seat Pleasant

...Seat Pleasant Mayor Eugene Grant said the fact Brown, an African-American woman wrote the play, reminded him that Seat Pleasant was once closed off to the county's black population and none were in positions of authority—unlike today where the City Council is all African-American.

''I think what's more important is the fact that a person from our center wrote it, directed it and produced it and the contributions [of] Dr. King gave African-Americans opportunity to do that in a community that was once separated."
