I Am a Man.

On February 12, 1968, over 1,300 Black sanitation workers in Memphis, Tennessee went on strike. They carried signs that read three simple words: I Am a Man. They were demanding safe working conditions, fair wages, and the basic dignity that had been denied to them for years. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. came to Memphis to stand with them — and was assassinated there on April 4, 1968. Their strike became one of the defining labor and civil rights battles of the 20th century.

Labor rights are human rights. This tee honors the men who proved it.
