The African American Museum in Philadelphia is partnering with Franklin Square and Keepers of the Culture (KOTC) to bring to life a special Earth Day Week-themed Griot Tale Saturday.

A Griot is an African oral historian who passes on their culture through the practice of storytelling. Perfect for children ages 5-12 and their favorite adults, as well as the young at heart, this event will be outdoors and socially distant to keep all participants safe.
