In the 1960s and 1970s, girls used clothes to define themselves, build communities, and make a political statement.

Fath Davis Ruffins made this dashiki for herself in 1970 when she was 16 years old. Derived from a Yoruba word, a dashiki is a loose-fitting, colorful tunic that was initially worn chiefly by men in West Africa but adopted in the U.S. by men and women alike, worn with either pants, a skirt, or matching headwrap. During the late 1960s dashikis became popular in the United States because of young people who wanted to signal their connection with African cultures, Pan-African and Black Power movements. Born and raised in Washington, D.C, Ruffins has been a curator at our museum since 1981.
