Defend Black Memories: Unisex, HeLa Immortal-Henrietta Lack Garment-Dyed Sweatshirt
Defend Black Memories: HeLa Immortal-This relaxed, garment-dyed sweatshirt feels like a warm conversation on a slow afternoon...as long as that conversation includes big Pharma's illegal use of Henrietta Lacks' immortal cells and how those cells heavily impacted science, medicine, and public safety across the world (and into space).
The front has a graphic illustration depicting a microscopic view of Henrietta's immortal cells, and a breakdown of areas those cells have benefited the world.
The soft, medium-heavy blend drapes easily, so you move without thinking about your clothes. Front artwork lays out a textured, collage-style graphic with thoughtful typography and a hand-rendered figure, while a small embroidered emblem on the back quietly anchors the message.
It’s the kind of sweatshirt you reach for when you want comfort and meaning together — worn to neighborhood events, reading sessions, or low-key demonstrations where your clothes can say something without shouting. The fabric’s subtle sheen and stable neck tape keep it feeling lived-in but well-made, and the ribbed cuffs and hem hold their shape after repeated wear. OEKO-TEX low-impact dyes and ring-spun cotton give it a lived-in luxe feel that settles into your wardrobe and into the stories you carry.
