These mantras were born out of the Civil Rights Era of organized protests, stand-ins, sit-downs, and voting registrations.

The "Don't Buy Where You Can't Work" movement, also known as the "Buy Where You Can Work" movement, emerged in major northern U.S. cities during the Great Depression (1920s - 1930s) to protest black unemployment rates that often were double or triple the national average. In 1929 the Chicago newspaper the Whip, under editor Joseph Bibb, sponsored a campaign to boycott Chicago stores that refused to hire blacks. Supported by the Reverend J. C. Austin of the Pilgrim Baptist Church, the program resulted in the hiring of more than two thousand blacks, mostly as clerks in Chicago department stores.

Wear this as a remembrance of the amazing battles our ancestors have fought and won. Read more about the "Don't Buy Where You Can't Work" Movement.
