Please join us this Saturday, February 20, 2010 at The American Civil War Center for a special Black History Month event - "Slave Storytelling Traditions." Storytelling is one of the oldest forms of communication in the world. Since most slaves did not learn to read or write, stories were told for entertainment, to explain the supernatural, teach lessons to children, and to poke fun at the master, themselves, and the world around them. Join historic interpreter Wisteria Perry as she takes you on a journey through time. Audience members will have an opportunity to participate in the storytelling and help determine the meanings that slaves intended. 2 p.m. Fee: $10 or free with paid admission 500 Tredegar Street, Richmond, VA 23219 (804) 780-1865 x10 www.tredegar.org Please R.S.V.P. to [log in to unmask] ______________________________________ To subscribe, change options, or unsubscribe please see the instructions at http://listlva.lib.va.us/archives/va-hist.html
