DCC Celebrates Diversity with Dashiki Day
|
|
Faculty, staff, and administrators dressed out for Dashiki Day on Tuesday. Hosted by the DCC African American Culture Club, Dashiki Day is an annual event that inspires the college community to remember the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.: Unity with Peace.
The dashiki is a symbol of affirmation, it stands for “black is beautiful,” and signals a return to African roots, and insistence on full rights in American society.
A dashiki is a colorful garment that covers the top half of the body, and found a market in America during the cultural and political struggles in the 1960s. The dashiki rebelled against men’s fashions of that time: brightly colored instead of drab, loose instead of tight, worn outside the pants instead of tucked in. It was worn defiantly on occasions that normally would call for a coat and tie.
If you would like to get involved with AACC, contact Mrs. Alice C. Walker, Advisor , Wyatt 203, by calling 434-797-8419 or emailing
alice.walker@danville.edu.
