Aware T-shirt

Before the mic squealed. Before “That Boy Good!” became scripture. Before the velour hit the floor at Clifton’s Bar—there was the cause.

This t-shirt marks Black Awareness Week, 1988. A fictional holiday that somehow said more than most real ones. Centered on the chest is AWARE, flanked below by the brands that backed the movement: Soul Glo, McDowell’s, and an unshakable sense of community stagecraft.

Flip it over and you're backstage with Randy Watson & Sexual Chocolate. Full tour dates printed in cursive gospel, from Springfield Gardens to Far Rockaway. The kind of circuit you only play if you're not in it for the fame—you’re in it for the feeling.

Part of the Good and Terrible capsule. Printed on rich black cotton. Made for those who still believe in the power of a heartfelt ballad, a squeaky mic, and a well-timed eyebrow raise.

That boy good. Real good.
