Are you ready? Do you want to help us prepare an archive of African American legacies for your children? This is an open community forum for all races and cultures!The Griots’ of the past carried cultural knowledge and identity for the people.The griot legacy stretches back for hundreds, and in some cases, thousands of years. The griot is a relater of history – keeping track of the history and developments of his people over time. The griot is also guardian of the knowledge of their people’s ancestry, or genealogy. This history may never be written down so the griot is crucial to keeping the records of the past. Griots are also orators, lyricists and musicians and they train to excel in all three art forms. But the griot is also a counselor – giving advice and spiritual guidance to his people.
