The object in the museum catalogue

A black cotton Fair Fight Action “Fair Fight” t-shirt by Bayside Apparel.

The front of this t-shirt features a Stacey Abrams quote in white ink press, one that captures the spirit of Fair Fight / Fair Count and the long suffrage of civil rights activists like Abrams, to register and capture the disenfranchised vote. [DEMOCRACY / ONLY WORKS WHEN WE / WORK FOR IT / WHEN WE / FIGHT FOR IT / AND WHEN WE / DEMAND IT]. On the reverse of the t-shirt in white ink print is the Fair Fight Action ballot box logo.
