The Department of Afroamerican and African Studies hosted their annual Graduation Reception at the University of Michigan's Museum of Art on April 28, 2017.

The Graduation Reception was followed by a dinner to celebrate the graduates. 

 

DAAS Graduate Sashes

The sashes/strips are purchased at the large cloth market in Ibadan, Nigeria, known as Oje Market. The strips are called aso oke, which in Yoruba means "cloth from the hills" --or country cloth. They are hand-woven on narrow-strip looms in southwestern Nigeria--where there is a long history of textile production.
