Adinkra Symbol Fun!
The word “Adinkra” comes from the combination of two African
cultures, the Ghanian and Akan people of West Africa. Many
of the symbols have meanings just like a Coat of Arms.
Create an Adinkra symbol to take home and display at this
multi-location Library program. February 17 at Point Place
Branch and February 22 at Sylvania Branch.
