I know you feel it too. That feeling that the "dream" we've been told to chase feels more like a house on fire. That's what inspired this design. We took the powerful words of Dr. King's speech, the ones that echo in our history, and used them to build an image of a burning house.
Why? Because in his last days Martin Luther King stated that he believed that we were "integrating into a burning house". We've been fighting for a seat at a table in a house that is fundamentally flawed. This design is a reminder of our power in this moment. It’s a reflection of the choice that has always been ours: do we try to save this burning house, or do we let it burn and build something new from the ashes?
This is for those of us who see the cracks in the foundation and who are brave enough to ask what’s next. When you wear this, you're wearing a piece of our truth. You're telling the world you're not afraid of the fire. You're ready to decide what the future looks like, on our own terms.
@trunobility This is exactly how I feel about America right now 💯 and I made a shirt about it. Not sure people are gonna get it, but I’m done being scared to say it! Is he right? Did he change his tune? #mlk #harrybelafonte #integration ♬ Spooky, quiet, scary atmosphere piano songs - Skittlegirl Sound
