Black History in America -- US Virgin Islands

MaryAnn Golden Christopher was a key player in the preservation of traditional dancing on the US Virgin Islands, namely Bamboula dancing. Bamboula is a dance that came with the slaves from West Africa when they first came to the Caribbean, and variations of this dance appear throughout the Caribbean.

I dedicate this video to the memory of MaryAnn Golden Christopher, who appears in this video. She brought light to all who knew her, and it was an honor to have met this incredibly inspiring woman before her passing too early from this earth.
