Podcast from DDH StoryHour: Laughter, learning, courage
Listen to the courageous---and humorous---story told by Marshall Dunn, entitled "Integrating a Beach," by clicking here. The story takes place in Chicago at the height of the civil rights movement. Marshall Dunn, now retired as senior minister of University Christian Church in College Park, Maryland, and a DDH trustee, told this story at the "DDH StoryHour," which was held July 21 in conjunction with the General Assembly of the Christian Church meeting in Columbus, Ohio.
StoryHour flierAlumna Rebecca Anderson, a Chicago area pastor with a background in playwrighting and storytelling, curated the event, which was modeled on "The Moth Radio Hour" and other storytelling venues. She and Associate Dean Yvonne Gilmore hosted the DDH StoryHour on July 21 at Double Comfort Restaurant in Columbus for a crowd of about one hundred.
Eight live, first-person narratives on the theme of learning about one's self, or "Self: taught" were told by Anderson, Gilmore, Dunn, and other DDH alumni/ae and friends: Judith Guy, Sandhya Jha, Michael Karunas, Terri Owens, and Justin Ziegler. Special thanks also to Adam Frieberg, who recorded the stories and edited the podcast.
