You are cordially invited to join us on Thursday, November 20, 2025, from 5:30 to 7:30 PM for a special celebration titled Good Health, Hats, and Headwraps for the Holiday Season. This event, held in recognition of both National Headwrap Day and International Education Week, draws inspiration from the work of the Cleveland Council of Black Nurses, television's "Julia Baker" (a character brought to life by the late Diahann Carroll), and the rich fashion traditions of Africa and the African Diaspora.
Co-sponsored by the RASHAD Center, Inc., this program is also one of the complementary activities for the Western Reserve Historical Society's "Race, Place, and Community-Based Healthcare" exhibition.
As part of this pre-Kwanzaa event, we will feature demonstrations by Queen Fatima Atahiya Chui, owner of Kings and Queens Cultural Village in Cleveland. Guests will enjoy light refreshments, engaging conversations, and informative presentations, including details about Cuyahoga County’s CROWN Act. Attendees are welcome to wear African-inspired attire, though it is not required, and all are encouraged to participate.
The program will take place in the African American History Gallery and the adjacent reception area of the Cleveland History Center, located at 10825 East Boulevard in Cleveland’s University Circle neighborhood. Admission to the event is included with general museum entry: $15 for adults, $13 for seniors, $10 for college students, and $8 for children ages 3–12. Admission for WRHS members is free of charge. Visit www.wrhs.org for more information on museum admission and parking.
Please save the date, watch for additional details, and contact Dr. Regennia N. Williams at [email protected] with questions.
