SUMMARY:Speakers Bureau: Historic Journey of African American Quilters
DESCRIPTION:Diane Williams\, storyteller and fiber artist\, begins her presentation with a discussion of Kente cloth weaved fibers of West Africa and moves on to utilitarian quilts made by African slaves in America who sewed for their owners. She provides a reflective look at how the designs of Underground Railroad quilts relate to storytelling\, and explores the works of Harriet Powers (1837-1910) and three other female fiber artists. Powers was a model for women quilters of the late 19th-early 20th centuries. In her discussion of 20th and 21st century quilting\, she uses the work of Faith Ringgold\, Carolyn L. Mazloomi and Mississippi quilter/fiber artist Gwen Magee. Williams uses her storytelling skills to explore how images — in pictures\, but also in quilts — can guide us to a place of tolerance\, empathy and sensitivity. \nDiane Williams is a neo-griot\, along the lines of the story­tellers from times gone by when oral historians were crucial to maintaining black folks’ history because book publishers didn’t believe the history worth chronicling. Williams is also a quilter\, an artistry befitting for a woman known for paying homage to the past. Williams uses silk yarns\, beads\, stones and vibrant colors to make traditional quilts with Motherland inspiration to tell stories of strength\, resilience and hope.

SUMMARY:Speakers Bureau: In Their Boots: Poems Inspired by Soldiers and Their Loved Ones
DESCRIPTION:Program organizers have a choice between two related\, but different\, programs. Both are inspirational\, patriotic\, and riveting. \nProgram 1: “In Our Boots: Poems Inspired by Soldiers and Their Loved Ones\,” is a multi-media poetry performance inspired by LaFrancis’s seven years of interviews with soldiers who served in Iraq and their loved ones. The presentation includes readings from the collection\, music and a PowerPoint presentation. \nProgram 2: “In Their Boots: Voices of Our Soldiers” has been presented to churches\, libraries\, schools\, military organizations\, private groups\, non-profit organizations\, and other groups. This is a stirring\, unique\, inspiring look into the heart and soul of soldiers from all wars\, but especially World War II. This program includes video excerpts from LaFrancis’s interviews with World War II veterans. \nAs a veteran of 23 years (active duty during the Vietnam War era and Air National Guard) and as a writer for more than 30 years\, LaFrancis is professionally and personally qualified to offer what is a moving and unique presentation. LaFrancis has more than 25 years experience as a professional speaker and presenter\, particularly on the topics of creative writing and journalism. With the war ever-present in our lives\, his presentation of the experiences of the soldiers and their loved ones will enlighten and engage a wide range of audiences.
