(AP) — A black teenager says he was escorted out of his high school graduation ceremony in Sacramento by three deputies for refusing to remove his kente cloth, a traditional Ghanaian silk and cotton fabric. Nyree Holmes said Saturday that he wore the decorative cloth atop his graduation robes to have something with him that represented his culture during the ceremony at Sacramento’s Sleep Train Arena on Tuesday. “The kente represents my culture that I have no other links to,” Holmes told The Associated Press in a telephone interview.
