The Story of The Wedding Broom
During the antebellum period in the United States, slave marriages were not recognized as legal or binding. The broom jumping ritual was a symbolic act within slave communities for marriage. Many African American couples are taking back this custom and incorporating it as part of their modern ceremony. In some parts of Africa, ceremonial brooms are used to sweep away evil as the broom itself represents cleanliness, the hearth and family, and also fertility.
