Denim Tears Class of 1619 T-Shirt

Denim Tears Class of 1619 T-Shirt

The Denim Tears Class of 1619 T-Shirt is one of the most historically specific and educationally important pieces in the entire Denim Tears catalog — a direct reference to 1619, the year the first enslaved Africans arrived in the English colonies that would become the United States. The ‘1619 Project’ framing places Black Americans not as later additions to American history but as founding contributors whose labor and suffering are inseparable from the nation’s existence.

Class of 1619 applies collegiate visual language to this historical moment — as if Black American history were a graduating class, a cohort with a shared year of origin and a shared legacy. This is Denim Tears at its most historically precise and pedagogically powerful. The tee format makes this important statement maximally accessible.
