Join us to celebrate Black History Month and the official launch of The Legendary Uli Women of Nigeria. Following the lives of eight Igbo women from southeastern Nigeria, Ambassador Robin Renee Sanders pays homage to the endangered African sign and symbol system of uli (oo-lee) and the women who are keeping it alive. Sanders, the former U.S. ambassador to the Republic of Nigeria and the Republic of the Congo, examines the intricacies of uli as an important African information system.
A short video and conversation with Ambassador Sanders follows museum director Johnnetta Betsch Cole’s opening remarks.
