Description

Sankofa is an African word from Akan tribe in Ghana. Sankofa is symbolized by a bird moving forward, but looking backward with an egg in its mouth...the egg has been collected because it holds the wisdom of the past and is necessary to fulfill the promise of the future. The literal translation of the word and the symbol is "It is not taboo to fetch what is at risk of being left behind. The key is diversity learning cultural history - These series of designs are sold to teach and share between all cultures. The key to understanding is unity.
In the African villages the historian was called a griot, passing of knowledge the traditional ancestry of family history. The griot tradition now lives in us, let us now correct the pass and start passing down our history. � Copyright Jacqueline Lloyd (positiveblkwoman).
