Nah, I'm Gonna Sit in the Front Today 

We all know Rosa Parks for refusing to give up her seat to a white man on an Alabama bus in 1955. Being a Black woman in those days was no joke. And still, Mrs. Parks dared to say NO (Nah), a bold move that ignited the civil rights movement. This Black statement shirt honors her bravery.

We’ll take our reparations in cash, please!
