February 26, 2010 To Whom It May Concern: This letter is written in support of the authentic McIntosh County Shouters. This group is absolutely amazing. The Shouters in their unique performances have discovered that the best way to teach African American History in a serious yet entertaining manner is through the universal language of music and dance. As a retired educator, I know that the school system does not teach much Black History, except for a program at the end of the month of February. Thanks to the Shouters, who travel far and near, we are reminded year round about the Black Experience through story telling, music, songs and dance. The Shouters interact with the audience and get everyone involved through rhythmic clapping, singing and actual dance moves. This has proven to be a very effective way to capture the attention of the young and old while they learn history in the process. I sincerely support the McIntosh County Shouters in all of their efforts to educate the Community, State and the Nation on the history of African American Culture, through narration, songs, music and dance. This group is a great attribute to McIntosh County. I am proud of the Shouters for their service to humanity. Sincerely Roslyn Blackshear-Proud Supporter
