Families from as far
away as New Jersey participated in the Family Legends Bookmaking workshop at the
Alexandria Black History Museum on Saturday. The families who were visiting Alexandria for the
holiday weekend, learned about the workshop on the City website.
The
program was led by Sushmita Mazumdar, a local book artist, writer and educator
who started writing stories for children when her own children were little.
Family Legend
workshops are an activity of Living Legends of Alexandria (www.AlexandriaLegends.com) an
ongoing, not-for-profit photo-journalism project to identify, honor and
chronicle the people making current history in
Alexandria.
At the conclusion of the program the children read their stories aloud.
