This shirt represents a powerful moment in 1960s fashion history. 

In 1968, Saundra Williams became the first Miss Black America, and this became a pivotal moment in the African American community.

Saundra’s crowning made a lasting impact by encouraging other black women to proudly embrace their natural features, adorn themselves with items from their heritage, and use fashion as an expression of individualism rather than conformity.

These events are remembered today as a form of liberation from traditional beauty standards, because when it comes to beauty, there truly is no “one size fits all” answer.
