Hats are everywhere\, in exquisite variety\, and the characters use the hats to tell tales concerning everything from the etiquette of hats to their historical and contemporary social function. There is a hat for every occasion\, from flirting to churchgoing to funerals to baptisms\, and the tradition of hats is traced back to African rituals and slavery and forward to the New Testament and current fashion. Some rap but predominantly gospel music and dance underscore and support the narratives. The conclusion finds the standoffish young woman\, whose cultural identity as a young Black Brooklyn woman has been so at odds with the more traditional and older Southern Blacks\, embrace hats and their cultural significance as a part of her own fiercely independent identity.\n\n\nView the Digital Program\n\n\n  \n \nView the Digital Program\n\n\n\n \n\nCommunity Partner\n \nRosie’s Place was founded in 1974 as the first women’s shelter in the United States.
