Established by publicist Sandra Francis and director /

Sowerinc C.O. Jacob Taylor through Mr. Cosbys
inspirational portrayal of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a role
he has revived before mesmerised audiences for more
than thirty years.
Sowerinc produced King on Broad. Mr. Cosby's
triumphant reenactment of the I have a dream speech
performed on the steps of city hall in Richmond Va. Since that
collaboration the two organizations have embarked on a
mission to deliver inspirational nd motivational entertainment
to urban communities in central Va.

Tony Cosby studied his craft at Bowie State University
receiving a bachelor of science degree in speech theatre
and performing arts.  
He has honed and perfected his art in numerous theatrical

AMEN  CORNER  and  PIANO LESSON as well as more
than ten original plays which he also produced and directed.

LINCLON. Over the span of the last three decades Mr.
Cosby has been dedicated to the dreams or Dr. Martin
Luther King Jr., with over five hundred presentations
centered around the life of Dr. King and several of his
speeches, including:  
                   I HAVE A DREAM
 I'VE BEEN TO THE PROMISED LAND
                THE DRUM MAJOR
             and THE MEETING
by Jeff Stetson; a play based on a fictitious meeting between
Dr. King and Malcolm X. in the 1960's

In 2011 Mr. Cosby was featured in an article by Becky
Robinette Wright in the January issue of Richmond's  
FIFTYPLUS magazine entitled;

Richmond resident honors Martin Luther King Jr

In the article Mr. Cosby is quoted as saying,
"All my life I've admired King. I had this little thing I did...it
would be a reading of King's speeches. But it was just a
reading. Then Rev, Odie Brown of Second Baptist Church
on Idlewood Avenue asked me to do a reading of the, I HAD
A DREAM  speech.
Something happened while doing the speech and not only
did I speak the speech, but I re-enacted the mannerisms of
King. Afterwards people came up to me and said I sounded
just like King. It began to take off from there."
