Kente Cloth developed, as we know it, among the Asante and Ewe peoples
of Ghana in West Africa. The origin of Kente is explained by both
legend and historical accounts. Kente simultaneously reflects the
philosophical, social, political, and moral values of the Akan way
of life. It has become associated throughout the African Diaspora
with African culture and Black pride . . . |
