‘People Are Trapped in History,’ — James Baldwin Quote Tee | Wear Words Typographic Statement Tee — Oversized Tee

“People are trapped in history, and history is trapped in them.” James Baldwin wrote this in “Stranger in the Village,” his 1953 essay on being the first Black man some Swiss villagers had ever seen. From that vantage he mapped how the past goes on living inside people, carried in the body long after anyone stops studying it.

**AS Colour 5082 “Faded Bone” — Oversized Tee (Cream finish).** 100% carded cotton, heavyweight 240 gsm, garment-dyed — each tee fades a little differently, so no two are identical. Oversized, boxy relaxed fit, dropped shoulders, wide twin-stitched ribbed neck, side-seamed, pre-shrunk (size down for a less roomy look). Care: machine wash cold inside-out with like colors, do NOT bleach, do NOT tumble dry (line dry in the shade to protect the garment dye), cool iron inside-out (never iron the print).
