**5. Black History: To be a Drum.** Storyline Online- To be a Drum

“Long before time, before hours and minutes and seconds, on the continent of Africa, the rhythm of the earth beat for the first people…” And with the rhythm begins a story. It is what Daddy Wes whispers to his two young listeners one morning, the story of the ‘drum,’ the pulse that has moved through the African people and through time and place. To Be A Drum tells of a history sustained by the spirit of a people; Aminah Brenda Lynn Robinson’s mixed-media rag paintings are filled with the wonder of that spirit. To Be A Drum sends an invitation to all people to join the present and past, to listen…to become a drum."
