Program Description
The African oral tradition was passed on through African American stories. That rich tradition lives on today. In Anchor Tales, storyteller Dylan Pritchett uses the oral tradition to relay stories embedded with lifelong lessons for young and old. These lessons help serve as “anchors” for growth through wisdom and respectful conduct. In this interactive program, participation is a must as is having fun!
