We Want Our 40 Acres And A Mule Shirt – A Legacy of Unfulfilled Promises
The phrase “40 acres and a mule” echoes through the annals of American history. It refers to Special Field Order No. 15, issued by Union General William Tecumseh Sherman during the Civil War. This order promised freed slaves land for farming, a crucial step towards economic independence. However, this promise, intended as a path to reparations for centuries of enslavement, was tragically broken after President Lincoln’s assassination.

Michael Jordan, a global icon and arguably the greatest basketball player of all time, used his platform to amplify this historical injustice. By wearing a We Want Our 40 Acres And A Mule Shirt during a practice session, Jordan sent a powerful message of solidarity with the Black community and a demand for justice and equality.
This shirt isn’t just about commemorating history; it’s a call to action. It serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for racial justice and the importance of acknowledging and rectifying past wrongs. By wearing this shirt, you become part of a movement that seeks to honor the legacy of those who were denied their rightful place in American society and to fight for a more equitable future for all.
