At Oxon Cove Park every third Sunday and Monday of the month, come listen to stories, sing songs, and enjoy other activities. For Black History Month, meet Clever Anansi, Boastful Bullfrog, and other characters from West African oral tradition. For centuries, griots have delighted children with these colorful tales, full of rhythm, music, and opportunities for listener participation. Storytelling was an important connection that the enslaved could share with their ancestors and with each other. For babies, toddlers, preschoolers, and the adults who love them. Meet Ranger Steph in the Visitor Barn. No fee. For more information, call 301-839-1176.
