Bring the Story
to Your Organization

For hundreds of years, families communicated their histories through traditions and stories. Over the past few years, however, this practice has started to dwindle. How will we teach future generations about our pasts in a climate of right-now digital content and scripted realities?

Genealogist and author, Sahara Bowser, and community development consultant, James McKnight aren’t just recording history, they’re bringing it to life. These aren’t simple book signings. My Story of a Sharecropper Book events add to the experience of sharing history and cultural knowledge.

These open forum events allow the public to go more in-depth into the unique history of one of America’s oldest man. They also teach those interested how to record their personal histories and market it for the public.

Whether you’re a history buff, family elder, or aspiring author, there is much to learn at these entertaining discussions.
