From Inside Higher Ed:

"Philadelphia Printworks, which produces clothing that promotes activism, has unveiled a new line of clothing designed to promote pride in black leaders and to make people think about the importance of names of colleges -- names that appear on the clothing college students wear worldwide. The new School of Thoughtcollection "imagines a different world where colleges and institutions have been established based on the philosophies of Marcus Garvey, Audre Lorde, Ida B. Wells, Harriet Tubman, George Washington Carver and James Baldwin. The collection represents the double consciousness experienced by African diaspora in America and creates a safe space for the praxis of liberation."
