Lat Dior

Senegal’s King Who Refused to Bow

In the 1800s, as France pushed deeper into West Africa, one Wolof king refused to bow. Lat Dior of Cayor fought battles, built alliances, and even faced down a railway he believed would steal his land. His life became a symbol of honour, resistance, and Senegalese pride.
