Many Tuareg people who can afford to wear it will save it for only the most special occasions. The Tuareg people of the Sahara wear jewelry made out of this silver as an indicator of wealth, position and origin. The highly esteemed Tuareg silversmiths create a wide array of jewelry objects that all tie together using the traditional berber markings that you will see on most of the Tuareg jewelry. These etchings are clean cut, concise, geometrical and repeated over and over again through all of the Tuareg silver. In much of Islamic culture, realistic images are considered to be sacrilegious; hence the geometric patterns. The markings stand for ancient blessings of good fortune and symbols of protection for the wearer.  This jewelry is so sophisticated and stylish, yet so full of African meaning.Tuareg silver itself is an alloy of silver and copper, which gives it a brilliant golden tone. This is not a sterling silver, and is sometimes made from silver dollars that have been melted. February Feature Article:Dr. Woodson & African American History Month Dr. Carter Woodson Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. "Our nation is a rainbow--red, yellow, brown, black, and white -- and we're all precious in God's sight." Jesse Jackson (1941) Speech given at the Democratic National Convention in San Francisco on July 17, 1984 Black History Month commences in February with formal celebrations that pay tribute to many milestones, such as the birth of Frederick Douglass,Langston Hughes, Eubie Blake as well as W.E.B. Dubois an important civil rights leader. Black History Month also commemorates some key anniversaries, such as the passing of the 15th amendment; the swearing in of the first black U.S. senator, Hiram R. Revels; and the assassination of the militant leader, Malcolm X. Many people take time to reflect upon the achievements of African Americans throughout U.S. history, but not many people know how it all came to be. In 1926, an eminent African American scholar named Dr. Carter Woodson established 'Negro History Week' which was meant to highlight the contributions that African  Americans had made to U.S. history. This particular week was chosen in February because it coincided with the birthdays of Fredrick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln - two men who had greatly impacted the black population. Soon after, the week was extended to include the entire month, as African Americans finally became recognized as an important part of the history of this country.  Dr. Woodson himself is quite an impressive historical personality; he worked in the coal mines of Kentucky until age 20, when he began high school. He completed his course work in 2 years, and soon after earned a Ph.D. from Harvard. During his studies he was disheartened to find very little about African Americans in the history books of the time, and often when there was reference to the black experience, they were unfair and inaccurate. To combat the lack of information available, Dr. Woodson established the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History (now called the Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History) in 1915, and a short time after, founded the well-respected Journal of Negro History.  So from Dr. Woodson's desire to give African Americans their proper place in history, we now have a nationally-recognized month dedicated to this worthy cause. It just goes to show you that one man can have a profound effect on this country if his motivations run deep enough. Important dates in February to remember: February 1, 1960 - In what later became a civil rights movement milestone, a group of African American Greensboro, NC, college students began a sit-in at a segregated Woolworth's lunch counter. February 3, 1870 - The 15th amendment was passed, granting African Americans the right to vote.  February 12th, 1965 - Malcolm X, the militant leader who promoted Black Nationalism, was assassinated by three African American Muslims. February 23rd, 1868 - W.E.B. DuBois, important civil rights leader and co-founder of the NAACP, was born. February 25th, 1909 - The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) was founded by a group of influential African Americans and Caucasians in New York City.

Banana Leaf Artwork

Banana leaf artwork has been constant in African art for centuries. Native to Kenya, banana leaf art is composed of tiny slices of banana leaves that are cut and pasted or woven together. The banana leaves are sometimes dyed to create a more dimensional or realistic effect. You can also find banana leaf sculptures which are made by weaving together thin slices of the banana leaves, forming and pasting them together to create a completely new style of art. This is a very time-consuming process and is very hard to accomplish without flaws or breaking the sculpture. When the artwork is finished it becomes a gorgeous focal point that has become extremely popular in the last few years. Enjoy this rare and unusual art form for yourself.
