What is BLACK Storytelling?
“The distinction between Black Storytelling (in America) and other storytelling traditions, is that it was and is continually being forged, honed and shaped by the conditions that brought it forth.”
Dr. Caroliese Frink Reed, PhD. (from “The African Oral Traditions” in SAYIN’ SOMETHIN’ edited by Linda Goss, Dylan Pritchett and Caroliese Frink Reed, NABS, 2006)
