Wiley started his own production company after seeing that African-American historical stories were not being told, and few theatrical productions about African-Americans existed. Through his performances, he has introduced people to the stories of Emmett Till, Henry “Box” Brown and so many other historical figures in African-American history.
Wiley earned his Master’s in Fine Arts from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Previously, he has appeared on the Discovery Channel, The Learning Channel and National Geographic. In addition, Wiley has been featured in “Our State Magazine” and on PBS’ “North Carolina Now” and WUNC’s “The State of Things.”
