Black History Month at Habitot touts community


Music, dance and storytelling are part of life in Africa, and when Jiji La Watoto appears at the Habitot Children's Museum on Sunday, they'll offer a virtual journey into the heart of a warm, rich culture.

During the hourlong presentation - part of the museum's daylong Black History Month celebration - kids can play with tot-size drums and shakers, listen to stories about Africa, learn some Swahili so they can sing along, watch African dancers and show off a few African dance moves. But unlike the weekly classes for 2- to 5-year-olds that Jiji La Watoto conducts at Habitot, Sunday is geared toward getting the whole family involved.
