Description

Vintage Protest Arrest Photo of MLK and Quote – The monochrome portrait print design from artist Erin Georgen has a vintage, documentary feel, like the original photograph to be worn with intention. This design was commissioned in 2018 with support from Spokane local leader Sandy Williams and inspired by Martin Luther King’s “Letter from a Birmingham Jail.” In honor of Sandy William’s legacy, 30% of all proceeds from this purchase will be donated to The Carl Maxey Center in Spokane, Washington. The front features a single-color graphic based on an iconic Martin Luther King Jr. protest arrest photo, and the back includes a short quote from “Letter from a Birmingham Jail,” written while he was jailed for a separate protest. The design serves as a reminder of the courage and determination required to stand against systemic injustices.

This lightweight long sleeve tee is quiet, thoughtful, and made to be lived in. The clean crewneck and slim retail fit let the message on the back take center stage while the soft Airlume cotton keeps you comfortable through layers and long days. Side seams and shoulder tape keep the shape crisp after many washes. Wear it as a reminder to show up and keep showing up. Designed for adult wearers who value meaning in what they wear, this tee feels like an honest, everyday piece that supports thoughtful conversation and quiet solidarity.
