This project was initiated by Good Green to address a critical gap in design history: the near-total erasure of Black graphic designers whose groundbreaking work shaped visual culture yet remains absent from mainstream narratives. Recognizing that representation matters not just in imagery but in authorship, we set out to honor four pioneering artists — Laini (Sylvia) Abernathy, Archie Boston Jr., Art Sims, and Gayle Asali Dickson — whose creativity fueled movements, redefined cinema, and empowered communities.

To commemorate their legacy, Good Green designed a limited apparel collection featuring long-sleeve shirts and T-shirts that transform archival reverence into wearable tribute. Each garment centers a circular portrait of one artist, framed by ornate borders inspired by their distinct aesthetics. The sleeves integrate classical theater masks and flowing scroll motifs, nodding to performance, protest, and the enduring role of art in social change.

Crafted with intention and printed on ethically sourced garments, this collection is public pedagogy. By wearing these pieces, our community carries forward the stories of those who dared to design with truth, pride, and purpose. At Good Green, we believe design history must be inclusive, visible, and alive.
