About this event
Hands-on Kente weaving for kids 10–15 at the Gerimas' Black-owned bookstore-cafe — kids learn the 12th-century Ashanti origins of the cloth and try the loom themselves.
Why we picked it
Sankofa is the DMV's most storied Black cultural bookstore (Haile Gerima's shop) — a Kente workshop there is the real deal, not craft-store crafting.
