About this listen

Bring the griot storytelling tradition into your homes and classrooms! Listen as masterful storyteller Dr. Anika Prather dramatically retells eight biographies that have been tailored to students in grades 3 to 6 but are of interest to all ages.

The narratives impart a rich cultural experience, bringing to life Phillis Wheatley, Frederick Douglass, Anna Julia Cooper, and others whose lives serve as virtuous exemplars on some of the most difficult pages of American history.

Including an introduction to the griot storytelling tradition and an account of how Negro spirituals have enriched the American story, this recorded collection will enrich any curriculum that makes use of biographies for virtue formation and the cultivation of moral imagination.

With the power to inspire, direct, move, and mature the hearer, these beautiful recordings will be an indispensable addition to any learning library.
