Black in White

Long before we adorned white for en blanc events or Frankie Beverly & Maze, we wore wwhite for baptisms. Before that, we adorned white in our native land Known for its representation of purity, white is the official color for Black folks and culture Bottom line, we look good in the color PERIODT!!

It began in West Africa We wore white as a symbol of clear judgement We wore white for purification ceremonies. We wore white for rites of passage. Harriet Tubman wore a white lace shawl in her later years gifted to her by queen Victoria in 1897 during the Diamond Jubilee

Then we integrated white into the church Deaconess still adorn white today Christening gowns in white are a must Traditional lace head doilies are still headlining in the church choir There is not a Black female organization that does not have white on in some part of their attire. We typically put on our best behavior almost instinctively We understand that regal behavior is in our DNA

Let's Go Way Back Black & White Today

Fast forward to now, and the tradition continues. We have flipped white to represent our culture and resilience The garments match today's trends with the historical significance of our past We are indeed our ancestors wildest dreams
