A lot of our style came out of this era, this period in history. The Black Consciousness Era.
It came out of that period where the Black man decided to take Black pride back from Colonialism...where the Black man demanded respect, not only from other but himself too. The era where the Black man took pride in his appearance.
400 years of Black Slave Ancestors picking the cotton but not wearing it. How times change.
These were one of the few men that inspire our style..Martin Luther King Jr, Dr Nelson Mandela, Malcolm X. Steve Biko and Patrice Lumumba.
How I wish I had been born earlier so I could have gotten the chance to take these pictures.
