StoryTown Radio Show
February 22 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
FREEStoryTown Radio Show celebrates Black History Month on February 22 at 7PM with a livestream production filled with stories of local African American leaders who have made a difference in Washington County and across the country.
The production will present stories about Dr. Hezekiah Hankel, a doctor and educator responsible for establishing Langston High School. The show will also look at the great work currently happening through the Langston Center.
The Heritage Alliance will present a story on Black History in their usual segment, “Ask the Historian.”
Wayne Winkler shares about the Melungeon culture. Winkler, who has written two books on the Melungeon people and is a direct descendant, was featured earlier this year on C-SPAN in an interview about his latest work, Beyond the Sunset, a study of the Melungeon outdoor drama that took place from 1969 through the 1970s. Winkler was also talked about his work as a guest on the Black in Appalachia podcast.
StoryTown is partnering with Black in Appalachia and William Isom this month, and will present a segment from their popular podcast series.
Also joining the cast remotely will be musical artist Jae’zus, whose meditative lyrics leave listeners thinking long after the music ends.
