Memory: To live is to fight I’m a breast cancer survivor shirt
“I wish people would focus on what I do, not what I wear,” First Lady Melania Trump lamented on the final day of her solo four-country trip to Africa, which took her last week to Ghana, Malawi, Kenya, and Egypt.She was reacting to criticism of the pith helmet she had worn earlier in Kenya.
It's a sentiment any serious person would sympathize with-but it was difficult to honor her wish.The objectives of her trip weren’t clearly defined, and some of her clothes were, well, distracting.
Take the pith helmet. That’s a hat with a history. It was widely worn by European colonial armies in Africa and Asia and by the end of the 19th century had also become common civilian wear for Westerners in the tropics; it is considered by many a symbol of colonial oppression. Why, one can’t help but wonder, would the first lady of the United States want to lift up that rock?
