Nationwide — Oct. 30 is National Dashiki Day, a day of cultural celebration to the colorful garment that was adopted by African-Americans in the 1960’s and 1970’s as a symbol of pride, awareness, independence, and power. Although the loose-fitting pullover garment traces its roots to West Africa, it found a place in America during the post-civil rights era of the late 1960’s during the black power movement.
To join in, all you have to do it wear your Dashiki on October 30th, and make sure you join the parties in every city participating in this beautiful festival.
