In the spring of 1964, the dream that Dr. Martin Luther King spoke of so convincingly the previous summer seemed more like a fantasy to many black Americans. That year, tensions over race, poverty and neglect erupted in a summer of devastating riots in Harlem that spread like wildfire to other inner-city ghettos. Our story this week unfolds against this troubling historical backdrop: Ceremonies in Dark Old Men by Lonne Elder III.

Starring Glynn Turman as Russell Parker, with Charlie Robinson, Brandon Dirden, Jason Dirden, Michole Briana White, Rocky Carroll, and Julia Pace Mitchell. Associate producers: Christina Montano and Jennifer Brooks. Stage manager: Jared Cox. Live sound effects: Kristina Sepulveda. Recording, editing, and mixing engineer: Mark Holden for The Invisible Studios, West Hollywood. Our director is Judyann Elder.
