James Baldwin T-shirt

Because I am tired of quoting and elevating only the ideas of dead white men -- even in fights against exclusion, injustice and racism -- I was excited when I saw the announcement about the T-shirt with the James Baldwin quote. But my enthusiasm was quickly dashed when I saw that the T-shirt comes in only one color. As with so called "flesh-colored" bandaid, I encounter this mono-racial -- that is white -- design mindset all the time when I want to support progressive causes. So, for me, while I love the Baldwin quote, I will never buy the T-shirt because it is the wrong color.

Where else you going to get this kind of verbiage on a shirt?

I love the feel and fit of this shirt and it would be one of my favs except it has no pocket and I therefore have no place for my smartphone.

Overall an impressive shirt that is guaranteed to get comments. Of all sorts.
