Why is the kente cloth so special?
Kente is more than just a cloth. It is an iconic visual representation of the history, philosophy, ethics, oral literature, religious beliefs, social values, and political thought of West Africa.
Kente is exported as one of the key symbols of African heritage and pride in African ancestry throughout the diaspora.
