Conversations | Joaquina Kalukango


Two men in conversation on a baseball field during sunset.On the latest episode of Conversations, Tim Gordon sits down with one of the stars of the acclaimed theater production of The Mountaintop, Joaquina Kalukango. Hailed as daring, rousing and provocative, The Mountaintop is playwright Katori Hall’s bold reimagining of the last night of the historic life of Dr. Martin Luther King.

Exhausted from delivering a significant speech, Dr. King rests in his room at the Lorraine Motel when an unexpected visit from a feisty, young maid compels him to confront his own humanity and the fate of our nation.
