- Notes:
- "In the late 19th century, in modern day Senegal, a Muslim holy man named Cheikh Amadu Bamba attracted large crowds of worshippers because of his piety, knowledge and the promise of salvation through work. He was persecuted by the French as a resistance leader but the number of his followers continued to grow. They became known as the Murids and the holy city of Touba, founded by Cheikh Amadu Bamba in western Senegal, is their capital."--Opening frame.
