Its Birago Day!

It's Birago Day! For the past three years, we have celebrated the legacy of Senegalese poet and storyteller Birago Diop, whose work reignited interest in African folktales. He was also a renowned veterinarian, doctor, and diplomat.

 

Today, in honor of Birago Day, the annual celebration of African and Caribbean folklore, we invite you to read a poem by Natty Mark Samuels, the founder of the African School Oxford, to commemorate this occasion. 

You can also purchase Natty’s latest book, 'The Encyclopedia of Rootikal Folklore',
here.
