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: Sojourner Truth (portrayed by Charlotte Starks), honoring her abolitionist and women’s rights activism; paired with Susan B. Anthony (portrayed by Jan C. Smith), acknowledging her leadership in women’s suffrage and social reform.

Special thanks to the National Endowment for the Arts for funding as well as collaborations with Salt Lake Art Museum, Story Crossroads, Utah Storytelling Guild, and Nubian Storytellers of Utah Leadership.
