Don Pedro Colley. Artist. Dedicated to the acting world.
Born August 30th, 1938 in the small Northwestern town of Klamath Falls, Oregon, Don Pedro Colley is the son of parents who left the poverty of an existence in Kansas to find themselves the only permanent black residents of this major trading center, half-way between Portland, Oregon and San Francisco.
The raw western community flourished with trade from ranchers, farmers, lumberjacks and servicemen.
His father's piano playing abilities and his mother's active interest in local social and political affairs gave Don Pedro a rich opportunity to participate in all community activities, unlike many of his black brothers of that era.
Being 6 feet 4 inches tall and weighing 250 pounds, athletics came easily, but instead of the obvious -- playing football -- Don Pedro found track and field more his liking.
