The sound of djembe and dunun drums reverberated down the halls of DeLaSalle High School on Saturday, emanating from a gym packed with Black storytellers.
It was center of the Minnesota Black Authors Expo, where dozens of Black Minnesota authors showcased their books. At the front stage, writers read excerpts and community historians shared stories accompanied by a “heartbeat,” drumming by members of the Black Storytelling Alliance.
The theme this year was “Dreaming in Color: Telling Our Stories to Save Our Lives.”
