This adult unisex t-shirt features a powerful historical statement, displaying the text "WE BUILT THIS" below an early 20th century photograph of Black students constructing the roof rafters of the Collis P. Huntington Memorial Building at the Tuskegee Institute. Captured by photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston, the image reflects the vision of Booker T. Washington, showcasing numerous men earning an education and learning vital trades by physically building their own campus from the ground up. This design serves as a proud, enduring testament to Black labor, craftsmanship, and self-reliance.
The shirt is made of 100% Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton, offering a lightweight 4.2 oz fabric for breathability and a soft feel. Side seams and a ribbed knit crew neck with a seam and shoulder tape ensure shape retention, a polished neckline, and an improved fit. Each tee is responsibly manufactured and REACH certified, featuring a tear-away label for added comfort and to reduce skin irritation.
To maintain the print quality, machine wash cold and tumble dry on low heat, using non-chlorine bleach only as needed. Iron, steam, or dry on medium heat, and do not dry clean. Customization is available upon request.
