This is the history behind t-shirts I designed the t-shirts for the conference celebrating 50th anniversary of the National Association of Mathematicians (NAM).  Although simple, this t-shirt is loaded with meaning.  Similar to how sanitation workers in Memphis rose up in the streets wearing posters that read "I AM A MAN," NAM was founded from similar inequalities which regarded black mathematicians unworthy of respect at mathematical conferences.  50 years ago they decided to create their own conference.  I am grateful to have designed a t-shirt that gives homage to such brave people.
