CHOICE will host a presentation from storyteller and artist Salaam Green in Uniontown on Sunday, Feb. 25 at 4 p.m. 

Green will speak about storytelling in the Black Belt. The presentation was made possible by CHOICE and Alabama Humanities Alliance's Road Scholars program.

"The rich culture of the Black Belt is informed by the telling of tall tales, hopeful literature, and auspicious stories of the lifestyles of many Black residents of the Black Belt past, present, and future," said a press release from Alabama Humanities Alliance.

"Also, there will be some surprising storytelling examples that come from Black Belt artists and everyday residents."

The event will be held at Uniontown City Hall Auditorium on 200 Front Street.
