    GLOSSRAGS is one of the few Pro-Black leaders on the apparel scene; creating pieces to help society "fight amnesia" and recongnize modern day prejudices beyond the 7-day attention span of mass media. Each piece in the GLOSSRAGS shop pays homage to victims of nationally recognized police brutalities and other injustices that are genuinely overlooked in America. This particular piece is full of curiosity and fuels my obsession with back detailing on outerwear. The Adinkra symbol on the front, Epa, symbolizes law, order, slavery, and captivity. Jacket is unisex, 100% Nylon Taffeta, Wind +water-resistant, and is available in green or black.…

    “Remembering is an ethical act…” “Remembering is an ethical act, has ethical value in and of itself. Memory is, achingly, the only relation we can have with the dead. So the belief that remembering is an ethical act is deep in our natures as humans, who know we are going to die, and who mourn those who in the normal course of things die before us—grandparents, parents, teachers, and older friends. Heartlessness and amnesia seem to go together” (Sontag, 2003, 115).…

    Everyone has their own opinion on what attire is appropriate for school; some people may feel that some of the clothes that the girls wear is “too much”, but what exactly is too much? A majority would say that revealing shoulders and bra straps are inappropriate, but others would think differently. While some of the clothes people wear shouldn’t be worn in a learning environment, society shouldn’t be biased and make a fair dress code for both male and female students because it can make female women students ashamed of their bodies, which is degrading and makes them out to be sexual objects.

There has been many incidents where a female student would be taken out of class or sent home because her shoulders were showing or was wearing shorts on a hot day.…
