Introduction
Taken in 1963 by the renowned Malian photographer Malick Sidibé, the image serves as a visual synecdoche for an entire era of social, political, and emotional transition. Contained within this single frame is the extraordinary energy of Bamako's youth in the aftermath of Mali's independence from French colonial rule, which formally occurred in 1960.
