Echoes of a Dream: MLK’s Legacy in Richmond, Virginia is a short-form historical feature that explores a lesser-known but deeply significant chapter in the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

‍

While much of the public memory of Dr. King is shaped by his national speeches and marches, Richmond served as a powerful and foundational backdrop to his early organizing, relationships, and vision. From his first visit in 1953 to speak at Virginia Union University to the many sermons, rallies, and civil rights collaborations that followed, Richmond was more than a stop — it was soil. The city’s legacy holds not just echoes of his voice, but proof of the grassroots strategies that helped build a movement.

Through interviews, archival visuals, and narration, this film brings those moments into sharp focus for a new generation.
