Here’s a breakdown of what community events are taking place across the Chicago area Monday to honor Martin Luther King Jr. and what a new law says about.
Dr. Elisha Hall is neither a stranger to the recording studio, nor to storytelling. He released his first instrumental album last month, and his three children often clamor for bedtime tales, which he draws from his thesis work on West African storytelling. Now he’ll bring the two passions together to make his storytelling debut on air.
“Storytelling is a genre, yes,” Hall said. “But before it is a genre, it is a way of living, it is a way of being.”
Hall will join Evanston’s Fleetwood-Jourdain Theatre as the group kicks off its Black history project called 24/7/365: A Legacy of Greatness. The series features ten-minute broadcasts by local Black chefs, musicians, storytellers and visual artists.
