DESCRIPTION
A simple yet engaging geometric, this pattern celebrates the African American cultural tradition of “Jumping the Broom.” Originating in the antebellum south, the tradition was adopted as a way of demonstrating commitment between enslaved African Americans for whom the institution and rites of marriage were forbidden. It continues today as a mainstay of African American wedding ceremonies – a celebration of heritage and a statement of love.
