BRAZEN T-SHIRT SAYS, "I VOTED FOR THE BLACK HALF"
(PRLEAP.COM) NEW YORK (Jan. 6, 2009) – Black is just as American as red, white and blue - just ask the creators of BlackHalf.com, a social commentary blog. Centering on the maxim "I Voted for the Black Half," BlackHalf.com presents a fully brash yet wholly polished perspective on Barack Obama, the historic Election of 2008, the upcoming Jan. 20 Inauguration, and beyond.
BlackHalf.com is a snapshot of history being made today and the start of a beautiful transition for America. With a perspective of positive optimism and cautious endorsement of "change," the site contains regular blog posts on provocative topics in the present socio-cultural climate.
The blog also includes a store featuring the popular "I Voted for the Black Half" t-shirt. More than a mere fashion statement, the shirt is grounded in a profound new message about American life in the midst of a different kind of presidency. It is constructively controversial, spurring productive and intelligent debate and discussion.
"We know change is upon us, and we hope to tell the world through our clothing," said Ken Stewart of BlackHalf.com. "Our ‘I Voted for the Black Half’ t-shirt is a stylish statement reminding us that we, as a people, made the impossible possible. It’s a commentary on how America sees Obama - an outlet to raise questions, galvanize change, and focus on what we feel is positive."
These exclusive shirts are designed to be a pleasure to wear and are printed on ultra premium Tees including American Apparel. A portion of the profits will benefit the Children’s Health Fund.
Recent BlackHalf.com posts include:
- How the Black Half Was Born;
