The February 4th Program Meeting of the Bead Society is going to feature the African Twilight. Some of you will remember that we had a Gala event back in 2019 with Alan Donovan from Africa introducing the video. We are celebrating Black History Month by revisiting this video! The two women, Carol Beckwith and Angela Fisher traveled all over Africa for over 45 years. They produced 17 books about various aspects of their travels. We will be showcasing a talk the two women did in 2022 at the GLEX Summit (Global Exploration Summit). Their two volume book, African Twilight will be available to peruse!
