It's what Deirdre Guion calls \"hattitude... there's a little more strut in your carriage when you wear a nice hat. There's something special about you.\" If a hat says a lot about a person, it says even more about a people-the customs they observe, the symbols they prize, and the fashions they fancy.Photographer Michael Cunningham beautifully captures the self-expressions of women of all ages-from young glamorous women to serene but stylish grandmothers. Award-winning journalist Craig Marberry provides an intimate look at the women and their lives. Together they've captured a captivating custom, this wearing of church hats, a peculiar convergence of faith and fashion that keeps the Sabbath both holy and glamorous.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003eSIGNED FIRST EDITION | FOREWARD BY MAYA ANGELOU | (AUTOGRAPHED)\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51536559276320,"sku":"NEW0385500866","price":46.64,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/715iy7rTZGL.jpg?v=1777421817","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/crowns-portraits-of-black-women-in-church-hats-0385500866","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
