The Kwame, a popular name for male African- Americans, is a fedora that features multiple elements yet is still classified as a ‘simple’ design. There are multiple components to this fedora, projected in a contradicting method. This customization can be compared to a man, specifically the Black Man.
The makeup up of the Black Man can be quite complex. The Black Man has the blood, sweat, and tears of a 17th- century slave that continuously pulsates through his body, while still being responsible for providing, protecting, fixing, and making decisions for his family. Being that his makeup is so complex, yet he presents himself as a simple being, is he ever allowed to be a person -outside of being ‘the Black Man’?
