Designing Kente Cloth

The Kente Cloth is an Asante ceremonial cloth hand-woven on a horizontal treadle loom. It is made from threads of different colors. The weaver may use red, green, yellow and black threads to weave the strips of cloth. The cloth is  worn during very important social and religious occasions. Many variations of Kente are woven by various ethnic groups in Ghana and elsewhere in Africa.

About The Kulture Kidz

Hello, my name is Ty Kulture. My younger sister, Keisha, and I were bored one day. Our mom gave us a cool idea. She told us to see how many history facts we could put together using the alphabet.

We will be blogging about what we have found every Wednesday. So, join us each week to learn African American History from A-Z.
