‘I Consider Chaos a Gift’ — Septima Poinsette Clark Quote Tee | Wear Words Black-on-White Statement Shirt — Oversized Tee

“Whenever there is chaos, it creates wonderful thinking. I consider chaos a gift.” Septima Clark — who built the Citizenship Schools that taught thousands of Black Southerners to read well enough to register to vote — said this late in life, recorded in her 1986 memoir Ready from Within. She had watched order break so that new thinking could rush into the gap: for her, the mess of a crisis was the exact condition under which people finally reconsider everything.

**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).
