Review of Program 01: Daisy Turner, Vermont Storyteller


This Peabody Award winning series of short portraits of storyteller Daisy Turner who lived to be 104 ( narrated by the inimitable Barbara Jordan ) is a perfect gem to drop into ATC or ME if your station is looking for programming for Black History month. There are 20 short modules that use Turners voice recalling her songs of childhood, slave narrative, and personal history, as well as commentary from other figures knowledgable of her life.
The production is clear, polished without seeming so, and aims directly at the soul.
