Ancestral Black Love

Jumping the broom is a significant Black American wedding tradition where couples jump over a decorated broom, symbolizing the sweeping away of the past, chasing away evil spirits, and leaping into a new life together. Deeply rooted in slavery, it allowed enslaved people to honor their unions when legal marriage was forbidden. Today, it is a way to pay homage to ancestors and celebrate heritage. • 100% combed and ring-spun cotton (Heather colors contain polyester) • Fabric weight: 4.2 oz./yd.² (142 g/m²) • Pre-shrunk fabric • Side-seamed construction • Shoulder-to-shoulder taping • Blank product sourced from Nicaragua, Mexico, Honduras, or the US Disclaimer: The fabric is slightly sheer and may appear see-through, especially in lighter colors or under certain lighting conditions.
