SUMMARY:Speakers Bureau: "From the Scraps of My Life in the Mississippi Delta"
DESCRIPTION:J Janice Coleman presents:  “From the Scraps of My Life in the Mississippi Delta” \nEveryone loves to hear stories\, and everyone loves the feel and the memories quilts and other homemade patchwork bring to mind. This combination of narrative and the nostalgia a patchwork coverlet evokes inspires people to talk about the quilts\, dolls\, and clothes their elders used to make for them. In her presentation\, Dr. Coleman brings evokes these feelings in her audiences by choosing patchwork pieces that are relevant to the occasion and then telling the stories they pass on. Sometimes\, Dr. Coleman presents in character. For example\, if she is teaching Eudora Welty’s “A Worn Path\,” she may present in character as the protagonist Phoenix Jackson. In closing\, Dr. Coleman always encourages audience members to consider the scraps of their own lives (old quilts and other coverlets\, faded tee-shirts and jeans\, worn shirts\, skirts\, and dresses) as materials that they can use to create their own meaningful patchworks. Dr. Coleman believes these recycled or re-purposed items can become priceless when they are recognized as part of the thread that runs through a family history. “With my scraps\, I demonstrate the transformation between what they were and the art they have become\,” says Dr. Coleman.

SUMMARY:Speakers Bureau: "A Look at Mande (West African) Culture Through Traditional Music"
DESCRIPTION:Jerry Jenkins presents: “A Look at Mande (West African) Culture Through Traditional Music” \nThis presentation will give the listener a glimpse of the Mande Culture of West Africa. In the tradition of the Mande\, the history and culture is orally preserved in the minds and through the music of the Djeli (oral librarian/mandenka hereditary professional musicians). The establishment of the Mali Empire can be recalled and retold in the musical piece of the legendary Densoba (great warrior) Sunjata. This discussion explores the function of the Mande music and musical instruments\, Mande class system\, songs\, ceremonies and stories. The discussion also examines the influence of West Africa on American culture and why the djembe was outlawed during slavery. Participants will learn about the djembe\, its introduction by drummers like Babatunde Olatunji in 1950 and Ladji Camara from Guinea\, and how it spread throughout America.
