Josh White Jr. – Friday, July 6, 2012
In recent years, Josh, Jr. has added to his multi-dimensional talents and touring schedule, by becoming a “single-digit” (as he calls it) performer, doing children and family concerts, including school concerts for grades K-4. And with the release of the U.S. Postal Service’s stamp honoring his father (and Leadbelly, Woody Guthrie and Sonny Terry) he does a music/lecture session on his father, Josh, Sr. for grades 5 through 12. He provides an extraordinary, interactive experience for young people.[Read comments from some of the schools.] He has appeared many times on the Nickelodeon Network and he along with his good friend, Ron Coden, hosted their own PBS special, “Josh and Ron’s Family Adventure.”
In 1991, Josh teamed up with the founder of “StoryLiving,” Rändi Douglas, to create a highly successful outreach alternative educational program now called “Living History.” The program’s purpose is to teach history and social studies using multiple interactive intelligence systems, and as Josh says, “It is where you become the people you are learning about and then when you become emotionally involved, you never forget.” And all this happens in the classroom with music, imagination and role-playing. Sessions are held in schools, universities, churches, temples, community centers and at seminars.
