Defend Black Memories: Granville T. Woods Portrait Sweatshirt, Heritage Crewneck
Defend Black Memories: Granville T. Woods was an inventor whose electrical brilliance reshaped railways, communications, and modern industry.
This relaxed garment-dyed sweatshirt carries quiet weight. A vintage-style portrait of Woods and archival graphics sit on the front, while a small “Defend Black Memories” shield logo rests on the upper back .
The midweight fabric has a soft, slightly lived-in feel that drapes easily, making it comfortable for long days of study, walks through the city, or evenings at community events. It wears like a statement: respectful, understated, and made to hold up to frequent wear and wash without losing shape or color. Stitching and neck tape add durability and comfort, and embroidery offers a tactile, long-lasting accent that connects the design to the garment itself.
Each historical portrait piece comes with a QR code that takes you to a brief bio about the person or erasure event depicted on the garment
