This past weekend I was killing some time at my sister's and picked up "The Measure of a Man" by Sidney Poitier. In the introduction Mr. Poitier talks about some of the changes he has seen in his life spending about a page on the importance of story, family lore, folk lore. I wish I could give you the exact quotes here but my sister is not finished with her copy and I have not yet gotten a copy. I will eventually read the whole book and give you my impressions on his use of story. I'm looking forward to it since he understands the power and influence stories have on all of us human beings.
If you get a chance and read the book or at least look at his discussion on story be sure to post something here.
