Peter Brooks
From Native American chants to memorable video clips, and family stories, Peter Brooks gives the keys that his people have used to survive genocide, slavery, and emancipation.
A true raconteur, and renaissance man, Peter serves as an Ambassador from the Harlem Renaissance to the world.
Descended from generations of storytellers, his scope of knowledge and experience is so broad, that audiences are guaranteed to be surprised, delighted, amused, and educated.
His grandfather, Cab Calloway, was the "Michael Jackson" of his day. Cab's grandfather before him led one of the first Civil Rights organizations in America, "The Brotherhood of Liberty" in Baltimore in 1885, which became the model for the NAACP.
Peter continues and keeps alive this storytelling tradition and legacy while applying the critical lessons of this history to your specific organizational needs and challenges. His presentation aspires to be a multigenerational tour de force.
That's because the Harlem Renaissance has to be considered as the single most important cultural event in American History. So much of American culture changed as a result. Things such as language, music, poetry, and even sports.
The entire entertainment industry shifted and the spiritual, economic, and political agenda for African-Americans was set for the next century or more.
Such is the power and potency for your organization in evoking a renaissance.
More importantly, this legacy left behind by people like Alaine Locke, Marcus Garvey, W.E.B. Dubois, Langston Hughes, Duke Ellington, and others is a proven model for individuals to use and overcome adversity and catastrophe in their lives.
