The Mali Empire was one of the largest and most prosperous empires in Africa, reaching its peak under the rule of Mansa Musa in the 14th century. However, after Mansa Musa's death, the empire began to decline. This decline was due to a number of factors, including succession crises, civil war, and the rise of the Songhai Kingdom.

In this video, we will explore the factors that led to the fall of the Mali Empire. We will discuss the succession crises that followed Mansa Musa's death, the civil wars that broke out within the empire, and the rise of the Songhai Kingdom. We will also discuss the legacy of the Mali Empire and its impact on the world.

This video is a must-watch for anyone interested in African history. It provides a comprehensive overview of the factors that led to the fall of one of the greatest empires in African history.

This track is originally from Deniece's album entitled Let's Hear It For the Boy but in 1996 it was released on her The Best of Deniece Williams CD. The song was originally recorded in 1984. Enjoy!! Lyrics Below:
Morning light, silken dream to flight
As the darkness gave way to dawn
You've survived, now your moment has arrived
Now your dream has finally been born

Chorus:
Black Butterfly, sailed across the waters
tell your sons and daughters
what the struggle brings
Black Butterfly, set the skies on fire
rise up even higher
so the ageless winds of time can catch your wings

ooh...ooh

While you slept, the promise was unkept
But your faith was as sure as the stars
Now you're free, and the world has come to see
Just how proud and beautiful you are

Chorus

Let the current lift your heart and send it soaring
Write the timeless message clear across the sky
So that all of can read it and remember when we need it
That a dream conceived in truth can never die
Butterfly

Cause now that you're free and the world has come to see
Just how proud and beautiful you are

Chorus

Fly
Butterfly
Yeah, yeah, yes
Fly
