We Will Help You Make Your Event A Success!

“Joe Rogers was a phenomenal success here at Tunxis. First I would like to
say that it is very uncommon, but a delight, to be given press materials to
aid in your promotion of the event. This was extremely helpful. …

Not only was Mr. Rogers presentation at our Black History Month Luncheon a
rousing success but he also provided two additional lecture presentations to
our students, staff and faculty here at Tunxis Community College. …

[W]hen Mr. Roger's spoke, he spoke so eloquently, so courageously as did Rev. Martin Luther King that you just felt you were there in Washington and Memphis. …

Rogers just blew the roof off! Our President at the college was most impressed and the students and instructors in attendance could not believe how authentic
Mr. Rogers was in his presentation. …

Please convey to Mr. Rogers that I am so happy we finally connected because
this college will never be the same. This is something these students and
others have and will continue to talk about for a long time. Thank you for
making my job so much easier. You made me look real.....good!”

Minority Affairs Coordinator

The Dream Alive Program has been presented at some of the Nation’s top Schools and Academies

“[T]he fabulous Dream Alive presentation captivated us all at Francis Parker...teacher and student.

As I told Joe, when we were debriefing, I've never seen a Middle School audience respond to a presenter with a spontaneous standing ovation. That's exactly what happened when he concluded his presentation.

The teachers and kids continued to talk about the program long afterwards...they still do. …

Joe is dynamite,"

The Perfect Speaker for Your Church

“Every comment I received personally was most positive and very complimentary, and affirming of your special skill in helping us honor Dr. Martin Luther King’s dream. Your ability to relate to our students with gentleness and sensitivity, your skill in communicating the big picture regarding the race issue historically and the progress we have made because of Dr. King’s influence and contributions, and your tastefulness in articulating your message without a ‘chip on your shoulder’ or an attempt to blame anyone in particular were especially commendable.

Thank you for helping us honor Dr. Martin Luther King so specially, and for sensitizing all of us regarding our own role as believers in Jesus Christ to further the cause he began so ably.

Blessings to you, your family, and your good work.”

J. Michael Beidel, Headmaster
First Baptist Academy

Recognize The Value and Strength of Diversity

“Joe Rogers’ performance was thought provoking and moving… The presentation, reminiscent of Dr. King’s, “I Have a Dream” speech,… sparked a renewed interest in equal rights, for many of us. Rogers’ illustration of “I Have a Dream” was the first time for many in the audience to experience Dr. King’s passion and commitment to the civil rights movement… Joe’s powerful oratory skills are exceptional tools in inspiring and motivating everyone to do more on diversity. Since Dr. King’s death people have not “stepped-up,” and Joe Rogers’ performance has helped people realize what a major role they play, in making such change.

Overall, this was an amazing performance and we were fortunate to have Mr. Rogers come to our campus. His performance left a message of hope and encouragement for what has been accomplished and that there is still much left to be done.

Thank you, Joe Rogers, for your nostalgic and inspirational performance!”
