Description
African-American storyteller Queen Nur has performed throughout the US, Canada and in Africa. She is a past president of the National Association of Black Storytellers and received the organization’s Zora Neale Hurston Award. She has an extraordinary ability to captivate audiences, and is equally at home with small children and adults. We meet Queen Nur with elementary school kids, performing African tales in Ocean City, NJ and Jersey City, and at her home in Willingboro, NJ with her grandsons. In 2024, she received a New Jersey Heritage Fellowship from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts.
Produced by Eric Schultz for State of the Arts. Director of Photography Joe Conlon, narrated by Dan Gordon.
