The High John De Conquer Bandana by All Very Goods is a powerful tribute to the enduring spirit of resilience, rooted in African American folklore. Inspired by High John the Conqueror, a folklore hero who symbolizes strength, trickery, and defiance, this bandana is a reminder of the indomitable spirit that cannot be broken.
High John the Conqueror was a figure who, despite enslavement, never yielded. Known as a trickster, he would always turn the tables on those who tried to harm or oppress him. In Zora Neale Hurston's High John De Conquer, she writes that like King Arthur, High John remains alive in spirit, waiting for the time when his people will call upon him once again. The roots of this plant, which was once used by enslaved persons to symbolize this strength, carry his power in its soil and roots.
