This round tufted floor pillow is covered in an authentic pre‑1960s education classifieds pulled from Black American newspapers and magazines. The design features real ads for HBCUs, trade schools, correspondence courses, beauty culture programs, and regalia suppliers--capturing the drive for advancement and opportunity in a segregated America. Each ad tells a story of ambition, resilience, and community uplift, with many representing institutions and businesses that no longer exist today.
Crafted from 100% polyester inside and out, the pillow includes a sewn seam closure, a double‑sided print for lasting durability, and comes filled--ready to use right out of the box. Whether placed in a reading nook, living room, or lounge area, it serves as both a conversation piece and a comfortable spot for relaxing. Available in two sizes. Customization is also available if you’d like to adjust the imagery or color scheme.
A meaningful gift for HBCU students, educators, historians, or vintage collectors who appreciate the legacy of Black education and culture.
