First Lady: Under fire after wearing ‘colonial’ pith helmet in Kenya
Melania Trump has come under fire after she chose to wear a hat that some people say is associated with colonialism.
The First Lady wore a pith helmet while on Safari in Kenya.
Pith helmets were traditionally worn by European explorers in parts of Asia and the Middle East in the 19th century but were later used by military officers and soon became a symbol of oppression according to the Guardian.
