If you search the internet for quotes about stories and storytelling, Google will give you about 14,900,000 results in .56 seconds. Writer and anthropologist Mary Catherine Bateson says that "the human species thinks in metaphors and learns through stories." Activist, novelist, and poet Margaret Atwood tells the faceless bastardes they are never "going to kill storytelling because it's built into the human plan." The list goes on-- presumably with at least 14,899,898 more entries. As human beings, we not only love stories, but love to talk about them. In this episode, Sam talks a lot about stories with two amazing guests-- Stephen Gianotti and Brendan Wolfe. And though they might be less quotable than Bateson and Atwood, the three share invaluable ways to use stories, the process of storytelling, and dramatic play in the social studies classroom.

A Mitchell relative living in Richmond, she tells Wolfe and producer Miranda Bennett how she keeps his memory alive.

Wolfe and producer Miranda Bennett interview Edwina St. Rose and Bernadette Whitsett-Hammond, local historians working to maintain the cemetery where Martin is buried and tease out the stories of Charlottesville’s black community.
