Life in Washington DC 1911 Shirt

Honor Black history with this adult unisex shirt featuring a digitally edited and enhanced 1911 photograph titled "Negro Life in Washington, D.C." This black-and-white image captures four Black children standing together, bundled in winter coats, with a bucket in hand and a wooden cart nearby. Their expressions and attire offer a rare glimpse into the lives of Black youth in early 20th-century America. One girl stands out with a fur hat and an eye patch—a quiet symbol of the hardships children faced. Yet, she stands strong among her peers. Each child, with their own expression and stance, reflects resilience, camaraderie, and the enduring spirit of their community.

The high-quality print preserves the rich details of this historical moment, making it a conversation piece and a versatile wardrobe staple. Ribbed knit collars provide structure, while tapered shoulders ensure a flattering fit. Dual side seams help maintain the shirt’s shape for lasting wear.

Whether worn casually or as a statement piece, this design is a tribute to the enduring legacy of Black life and heritage. Customization is available upon request.
