This shirt represents a beautiful moment in 1960s women’s history.

In 1968, the Atlantic City boardwalk saw an empowering, historical protest at the Miss America Pageant.

Protesters and supporters got together to embrace individuality and challenge gender roles, racism and consumerism, symbolically throwing “instruments of torture” like bras, high heels and makeup into the “Freedom Trash Can”.

Feminists created an atmosphere of acceptance and inclusion that encouraged people of all shapes, sizes, colors, ethnicities, and gender identities to be seen on the runway, because all women are beautiful.
