Wearable truth for those ready to remember
what was almost lost. This is where the record begins.
Our people carried knowledge the world tried to erase — in their names, their memory, their record. Our People Knew brings that history back into the light, one collection at a time, and puts it where it belongs: on you.
Our first collection begins in 1624.
In 1624, in the Virginia colony, a child was born to two Africans carried across the ocean from Angola. His name was William Tucker — the first documented African child born in English-occupied North America. His birth is where the written record of Africans in America begins.
Four hundred years later, the name still stands. This collection marks that beginning — origin, passage, and record — designed to be worn out loud.
Seven ways to carry four hundred years.
This is where Our People Knew begins. Wear the record. More collections are coming.
