Stand tall in the legacy of a trailblazer. This sweatshirt honors Shirley Chisholm, the first Black woman elected to the U.S. Congress and the first Black candidate to seek a major party’s nomination for President. Bold, unbought, and unbossed—Chisholm broke barriers and carried the hopes of generations forward.
Crafted from premium cotton-blend fleece, the sweatshirt balances comfort with a statement of strength. The collegiate-style lettering and heritage design echo the confidence and clarity with which Chisholm carried herself, making it more than apparel—it’s a declaration.
Wear it as a reminder of her courage, her uncompromising vision, and her call to stand up and be counted. This piece is built for those who believe in paving new roads and refusing to wait their turn.
