Black twitter is at it again, this time with #DuragHistoryWeek. Celebrating the iconic headgear known as a durag -- also spelled doo-rag, dew-rag or du-rag -- this momentous occasion is joyfully being honored on social media.
And don't start laughing, either. This is a very big deal. If you thought durags were relatively new, guess again? They've have been around for years -- even centuries! Don't believe us? Check out a couple previous #DuragHistoryWeek tweets that prove this.
