Garrett A. Morgan, Unisex, Historical Portrait T-Shirt
Garrett A. Morgan, Unisex, Historical Portrait T-Shirt
Defend Black Memories: Garrett Augustus Morgan was a visionary inventor whose creations saved countless lives. Notable inventions and design improvements include a three-way traffic light, smoke hood (gas mask), and the first chemical hair relaxer.
This lightweight cotton Tee is a wearable nod to Garrett A. Morgan, and the stories too often left out of history. The soft fabric and clean crew neckline keep the focus on the bold DTF graphic: a tribute that reads like a declaration, meant to be worn for all occasions. Community meet-ups, lounging around with friends, or on slow city walks where memory matters. It settles comfortably across the shoulders and holds its shape through repeated wear, so the message stays clear night after night. For people who carry history with intention, this tee feels like a reliable companion — honest, stout, and made to last.
This cotton crew tee carries a strong history and contemporary purpose. A muted, portrait-style design sits on the front alongside archival motifs, inviting close looks and conversation. The back features a small Defend Black Memories emblem, a succinct statement that aligns the wearer with remembrance and preservation. Light, breathable fabric keeps the shirt comfortable through layered streetwear or warm-weather wear. The classic crew cut and clean lines make it easy to pair with denim, jackets, or a tote for everyday movement.
Each historical portrait piece on DBM comes with a QR code that takes you to a brief bio about the person or erasure event depicted on the garment.
