The Icon Behind the Words

James Baldwin (1924-1987) was a gay Black writer and civil rights activist whose essays, novels, and speeches challenged America to confront its deepest truths about race, sexuality, and identity. From Notes of a Native Son to Giovanni's Room, Baldwin's work broke barriers and opened minds, influencing both the civil rights and gay liberation movements.

His characters—like all of us—searched for self-acceptance in a world that wasn't always ready for their truth. Baldwin understood that sometimes you have to build your own table when you're not invited to sit at theirs.

Wear Your Truth

This tank embodies our Radical spirit—because choosing to be authentically yourself in a world that often demands conformity is the most radical act of all. Whether you're finding your voice, speaking your truth, or simply living unapologetically, Baldwin's words remind us that we don't wait for permission to exist—we create our own space.

Wear your true self. Make your place.
