THE “BECAUSE OF HER” TEE

“I'm not knocking other HBCUs, but a female slave is why we have Virginia Union.”

That line from The History We Wear is meant to stop you.

Because before Virginia Union was a university, before the campus, the traditions, the degrees, and generations of alumni, there was a story.

And part of that story begins with a Black woman whose life was lived under slavery.

The Because of Her Tee pulls one of the documentary's most striking statements from the screen and puts it directly on the garment.

This piece has no NFC technology.

It doesn't unlock the story.

It asks you to go looking for it.
