Sankofa I and II, by Washington, D.C. artist Akili Ron Anderson, is located at Columbia Heights station on the Green Line in the District. The 20-panel stained glass depicts artist-interpreted Sankofa birds set in a background of Kente cloth-inspired designs. In the Akan culture of Ghana, the Sankofa bird, with its head turned over its shoulder, signifies looking to the past for guidance for the future. The artist, working with the community, uses the image of Sankofa birds and Kente cloth to inspire residents to look back at their past to build the future of Columbia Heights. | ||||
