Culture Patches
African American Culture Patch
In keeping with the council’s goal of pluralism, this patch program was designed to provide the opportunity for girls to gain an insight into the African American Culture and it’s contribution to society. Learn about several important African Nations, history of the culture, popular traditions, and activities. Learn the impact that African Americans such as Martin Luther King, Rosa Parks, Zora Neale Hurston, and Oprah Winfrey have made in our country.
