​To memorialize the iconic Cotton Tree that had stood in Freetown for centuries

​To memorialize the iconic Cotton Tree that had stood in Freetown for centuries until it was recently felled by a rainstorm, Ambassador David Reimer unveiled a painting of the historic tree by Sahr Songu Briwa from Bondumani art.


Ambassador Reimer remarked that "we are saddened that this historic tree has been affected by the climate. This historic symbol of Freetown was rich with history that connects Sierra Leone with the United States of America especially the Gullahs (A distinctive group of African Americans from South Carolina and Georgia in the southeastern United States that trace their root to Sierra Leone). With this painting, we can always remember it and honor its longstanding importance to the people of #Salone."
