Slightly Scary Tales and Sometimes Slightly More
Stories, songs, history, and heritage that bring African-American traditions to life.

Well, this is the program. These slightly scary tales will send chills up the spine, but then provide laughter, not bad dreams. Hear some of the tested old tales and try a few new.
