Millinery and Black American Women's Culture

Fewer of us wear hats to day than we did a hundred years ago, but that does not mean they have given up their cultural importance in any way. millinery remains this treasured source of expression and pleasure for many american and african-american especially church goers. The museum has recreated may's millinery, which was the millinery shop of this woman, a may. And what's wonderful is, when yo, you're in there, women will come in and they will remind them of their mothers and remind them of her hats.
