W.O.R.D. UP! Words of Real Distinction: Were They Equal?
01:30, for All ages
Join us for a celebratory reading in honor of Mother’s Day and Fantasia’s Super 17th Birthday Weekend with author Arnold Perey, flutist Barbara Allen & Capt. Allan Michel reading the anti-prejudice book Were They Equal? Here three presenters will give a dramatic reading about a Tortoise, Hippopotamus, Elephant – and you! In keeping with traditions of African storytelling, visitors are encouraged to participate by reading, re-enacting and singing the song Yes, They’re Equal after All to the tune of Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. This story encourages participants to open their minds to learning about the cultural differences people share and to be fair when viewing others. Made possible in part by the Verizon Foundation.
