Part of Black History Month

Celebrate Black History Month with us at The Mariners’, and learn the history of Mali and why its influence from all aspects of life continues to resonate today in the 21st century!

Like the ancient civilizations of Egypt and Carthage in North Africa, ancient Mali was a vibrant and powerful empire in West Africa and had been a place of historical, cultural, economic, and political interactions and exchanges for thousands of years.
