History speaks. Action answers.
This design centers on the Adinkra symbol Akoben — the War Horn, a historic call to action. It reminds us that past struggles still require present courage. Therefore, this tee stands for movement, vigilance, and responsibility.
This piece was inspired by civil rights freedom fighter Jafar Saidi (also known as Nafi Hakim and William Borders). His legacy reflects lifelong resistance, strength, and continued advocacy for freedom. Because of that spirit, this design moves beyond inspiration into action.
Artist Brother Onalaja selected Akoben to represent urgency. Not just feeling. Not just remembering. But moving forward through revolutionary action.
The border text reads “Freedom Is Never Free.”
The lettering appears in Afrikan Diasporic Glyph, created by Ajamu Olushegun Iyapo. As a result, the message connects culture, history, and resistance into one unified visual language.
Most importantly, this shirt creates real impact.
100% of designer proceeds support the Bay View National Black Newspaper, helping sustain independent Black journalism and community storytelling.
Wear history.
Wear responsibility.
Wear the call to action.
