Our
Tradition: The Wearing of Our hats, Our Crowns
As
I look through every moment of our history, we as
black women have worn hats. We have marched in them,
we "sat-in" in them and we worship in
them. I remember my aunt wearing a baby pink pillbox
with tiny silk flowers all over the hat, just to
go to the market. I remember the First Lady of our
church in a different hat every Sunday. I remember
the first white hat my mother ever bought at the
hat shop on Central Avenue. These are my remembrances.
That which inspires me. And although hats change
in shape and size over the years, one thing remains
the same: Our love for them. They are our hats to
hold on to...
