The Seacoast African American Cultural Center has planned a color-filled season, chock-full of thought-provoking programs and two intriguing exhibits, and it s starting with a real doozy. Fashion Forward: Africana Style: Connecting Thread Of African Fashion Through Time And Place will launch SAACC s season with all things wearable, in image and artifact.
