In Collaboration with Story Crossroads:

Our project, Storytelling Pairings: A Blended Celebration of American Legacy, honors twelve influential Americans whose lives and contributions helped shape our nation. Through paired presentations, we spotlight both Black and Caucasian leaders whose stories reflect courage, creativity, justice, innovation, and lasting cultural impact.

This event features: Booker T. Washington (portrayed by Everett L.Spencer, The MESSENGER), recognizing his role in education and reform; paired with John Adams (portrayed by Jeff Driggs), recognizing his foundational role as a founding father and advocate for education.
