Inspired
by
Alice
Walker:
“Oppressed
hair
puts
a
ceiling
on
the
brain”
Hair
displays
one’s
culture,
status,
identity…
Black woman has been taught that nappy hair is a badge of shame.
Mathematics
are
involved
in
the
traditional
African
hairstyles
so
Math
is
part
of
the
African
heritage:
angles,
straight
and
curved
lines,
circles,
squares….
can
be
seen
in
the
different
styles.
Let
hair
be
again
a
work
of
art.
