From the author of We Wear the Mask and Sympathy, this design honors the poetic voice who captured the soul of Black America long before the Harlem Renaissance bloomed, Paul Laurence Dunbar.

Front: MADE IN BLACK AMERICA
Sleeve: STILL I SING.
Back: Dunbar portrait with excerpt from “Sympathy.”

Layered text from “I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” frames Dunbar’s image, reimagined in radiant color.

Each piece reminds us that art is resistance, and voice is freedom.
Wear it when you want your wardrobe to speak with clarity: casual enough for everyday comfort, yet styled to be noticed in a crowd.

The heavier, vintage-feel cotton and clean ribbed collar keep the shirt grounded and wearable through seasons.
It’s the kind of long-sleeve you reach for when you want to represent identity, history, and creativity all at once.

A design that carries both rhythm and rebellion.
