mr.lk is the untold civil rights story of how one college student desegregated America you experience for yourself

The Civil Rights Movement has an untold origin story of how the Atlanta Sit-Ins of 1960 came to be the tipping point that finally brought an end to segregation in the South. This story begins here, with a young man from Atlanta whose last name also happens to be King.

A lost part of history that began with a perchance reunion of three college students over breakfast...

It was the morning of February 2nd, 1960. Mr. Lonnie King, on return from service in the Navy to re-enroll at Morehouse College, happened to walk into Yates & Milton Drugstore surprised to find longtime college friends Julian Bond and Joseph Pierce there before him. Inspired by the news that the Greensboro Woolworth’s lunch counter protests started a chain reaction across the nation, they fell into a heated discussion about the fate of their futures. 

What happened next changed the course of history. A fuse was lit that morning, rapidly triggering a series of events that ultimately woke the nation with explosive change. 

So much happened all at once, history has stripped this moment in the civil rights story over the years down to a few basic facts. The heroes and details left behind are the missing parts that tell Lonnie’s story. Unknown to most today with even fewer still alive to recount what truly happened, there is one last chance to save Lonnie’s legacy…

the complete story will be told in a way never to be forgotten again...

When Lonnie’s story goes beyond words and becomes the first ever Immersive Hip-Hopera you experience first-hand in the moment performed live to a timeless musical score that blends 1960’s era-styled music and modern-day Hip-Hop. 

Narrated by the one remaining survivor that witnessed it all… Founding member of the Atlanta Student Movement, Lonnie King’s predecessor, and Best Friend… Charles Black.

Starting Juneteenth 2024, the story of Mr.LK will unfold here online piece by piece for you to discover the key historical moments, characters, and music preparing you to be totally immersed into telling of the complete story when it comes alive onstage 65 years to the day it all began on opening night February 2, 2025.

Your experience into Atlanta's unknown history begins here online as the untold story of Lonnie king unfolds through music, song and the eye-witness recount of his best friend Charles Black.

the live show

a forgotten part of civil rights history too important to just be told, it must be experienced

Mr.LK is a live musical experience that puts you directly into the key historical moments to relive each scene firsthand as Lonnie King’s untold story plays out over five acts performed live to a 1960’s styled Hip-Hop score.

an immersive experience

As an audience member of Mr.LK, you are more than a mere spectator, you’re part of the show. Instead of being stuck in a seat, you move from act to act where seating is part of  each set so the performance unfolds around you rather than watching from afar.

choose your level of immersion

ALL LEVELS INCLUDE EXTRA IMMERSIVE AMENITIES RANGING FROM A COMPLIMENTARY DRINK FOR ALL GUESTS TO FOOD, KEEPSAKES AND VIP MEET & GREETS AFTER THE SHOW FOR THOSE IN THE IMMERSIVE LEVEL SEATS.

 

The unique set design delivers an unparalleled experience for all guests, but limits audience sizes making tickets hard to get. We highly recommend getting on the waitlist to buy tickets first before they go on sale to the public later this year. There is no commitment, just priority access to tickets and exclusive offers only available to those on the waitlist.
