SUMMARY:Quock Walker Day Storytelling at Lexington Visitors Center
DESCRIPTION:Join us for ABCL’s 1st Annual Quock Walker Day Storytelling at Lexington Visitors Center\, 1875 Massachusetts Ave\, Lexington\, MA 02420. \n\n\n\nSaturday\, July 5\, 2025 from 9:45 am to 2:15 pm \n\n\n\nStorytelling\, perhaps the best-known oral tradition of African American culture\, exemplifies the desire to express oneself and convey a sense of heritage. Storytellers remain important people in the community; they transform listeners by sharing new perspectives and forgotten customs of the world in which we live. \n\n\n\nDuring Quock Walker Day at Lexington Visitors Center featured storytellers will celebrate the 242nd Anniversary of Massachusetts Emancipation Day and the 250th Anniversary of the Battle of Lexington. They will communicate memories of colonial Massachusetts\, along with tales of resilience\, ingenuity\, emancipation and patriotism from the 18th and 19th centuries. \n\n\n\nAnother Lex250 family event! \n\n\n\nThese storytellers were trained in workshops supported by a grant from the Community Endowment of Lexington.
