Alfred Eisenstaedt "Eugene Brown, a Business Major at Howard University" Tee

$55.00

Description

Our heavyweight cotton Alfred Eisenstaedt "Eugene Brown, a Business Major at Howard University" Tee features a printed portrait by Alfred Eisenstaedt. In 1946, the legendary German photojournalist was commissioned by LIFE magazine to document daily campus life at Howard University, a prestigious Historically Black College and University (HBCU).

Notably, our founder and creative director’s mother, after whom Gilda George Tennis Club is named, was accepted into Howard. This is the same alma mater as U.S. Madam Vice President Kamala Harris and civil rights activist Stokely Carmichael (Kwame Ture), who popularized the phrase “Black Power” in the 1960s and 1970s.
