The Descendants of Prince Abdul Rahman Ibrahima ibn Sori and the Elders from Timbo, Guinea, in West Africa, recently visited Hartford, Conn., the home of Thomas Gallaudet (1787-1851). Gallaudet, the developer of American Sign Language, assisted Ibrahima in raising money for his return home.

Today, (May 16, 2024), the delegation is scheduled to be in Washington, D.C., where Ibrahima briefly stayed and gained the support of President John Quincy Adams.

Mayor Dan Gibson joined the group in Hartford and he plans to be with them in Washington.
