The month of February provides, among other things, an opportunity to reflect upon black history. You won't be surprised to hear that our lens for considering African heritage is the rich history of African textile design, which naturally suggested the perfect idea for a contest. So this week you have a chance to vote for a broad field of fabric designs inspired by that history. Have fun casting your votes!
