“Show the ugly face of racial conflict.
Move us & give us hope with story.”
Three Master Storytellers responded to this challenge.
In the Assembly, students were stunned, wept quietly to the tales
with Les Adam responding on a grand piano.
In the end, they stood cheering.

“That was the best assembly we’ve had. Ever.”
Joe Schmidt, Head Master, Seabury Hall (Maui) Oct. 2007
