African American Literature – Before 1900
Griots are traditional West African storytellers, poets, and musicians who serve as oral historians and keepers of their community's history. They play a vital role in preserving cultural heritage through oral traditions, passing down knowledge, folklore, and family lineages through generations. Their significance extends beyond storytelling; they are also social commentators and advisors within their societies.
