Charlotte Blake Alston, Bil Lepp & Josh Goforth
Charlotte is our featured presenter at this event, and she will tell the inspiring story of the Six-Triple-Eight, the first all-Black WAC Battalion ever assigned to military duty in Europe during WWII. The contributions of this battalion to the country went unacknowledged until recent years. The surviving members, now centenarians, were recently awarded the Congressional Gold Medal. When Charlotte presented this story at the National Storytelling Festival in Jonesborough in 2022, she was met with a standing ovation. Storytellers Josh Goforth and Bil Lepp will also appear on stage with unique and captivating tales. 120 minutes / $15.00
