Senegal 19

As part of a country-wide history project to record the oral history of Senegal, the local high school teacher siting on the floor is visiting some elders in the village of Paos Koto in central Senegal. The elders are recounting the stories that they were told about the battle of Patte Badian, where the Kingdom of Saloum beat the French army. Photo by Lee Hedrick.
