About this product
Product Information
Countless black women would rather attend church naked than hatless. For these women, a church hat, flamboyant as it may be, is no mere fashion accessory; it's a cherished African American custom, one observed with boundless passion by black women of various religious denominations. A woman's hat speaks long before its wearer utters a word. It's what Deirdre Guion calls "hattitude...there's a little more strut in your carriage when you wear a nice hat. There's something special about you." If a hat says a lot about a person, it says even more about a people-the customs they observe, the symbols they prize, and the fashions they fancy. Photographer Michael Cunningham beautifully captures the self-expressions of women of all ages-from young glamorous women to serene but stylish grandmothers. Award-winning journalist Craig Marberry provides an intimate look at the women and their lives. Together they've captured a captivating custom, this wearing of church hats, a peculiar convergence of faith and fashion that keeps the Sabbath both holy and glamorous.

African American Women and Their Church Hats : "Our crowns have already been bought and paid for. All we have to do is wear them." -James Baldwin "We just know inside that we're queens. And these are the crowns we wear." -Felecia McMillan, journalist "Listen, never touch my hat! Admire it from a distance. Those are the hat queen rules, honey." -Peggy Knox, child care provider "You can flirt with a fan in your hand. You can flirt holding a cigarette, too. But a woman can really flirt with a hat." -Dolores Foster, real estate agent (retired) "My husband said, 'You don't need another hat. You don't have but one head.'" -Dorothy Wynecroff, middle school teacher (retired), African AmericanWomen and Their Church Hats: "Our crowns have already been bought and paid for.
