About the Program Internationally recognized storyteller, Jan Blake shares two stories – an Ethiopian tale entitled “Fire on the Mountain” followed by her interpretation of a short story by Charles Chesnutt entitled “Mary and Moses.” These stories share insights into the wisdom and strength of America’s post-slavery communities and the futures they faced. Daniel Black, Professor of African American Studies at Clark Atlanta University, and a novelist, interviews Blake about how she weaves the African American experience into the body of her work largely focused upon the Diaspora. Recommended for ages 10+. This program is generously supported by Ford Motor Company. |
