The delegation returns, and goes to the library!



Saturday, March 3 from 3:30-5pm...
Robin Edward Poulton (Macky TALL) and Virginia Vassar (Aissata Daou) 
will speak in costume, with pictures and fun toys from Segou, Richmond's sister city in Mali where the real LION KING came from !

Bring the kids, visit the library, come and hear great music from Mali and find out about Virginia's African Heritage.
  • Dr Poulton came back from Mali and Segou just last week
  • Virginia spent a year in a Malian High School before working in Senegal, on the coast of what used to be the Mali Empire - founded by the original Lion King in 1235 and the subject of history teaching for all 6th grade, 4th grade and 3rd grade students in the Virginia school system.

Learn while you have fun!
See you there !
