The Crisis Magazine – The Voice of the NAACP

“We are training men for war. But what war?” – W.E.B. Du Bois, The Crisis, 1918

First published in 1910, The Crisis Magazine became the official publication of the NAACP and a groundbreaking platform for Black literature, politics, and civil rights. Founded and edited by W.E.B. Du Bois, the magazine gave voice to the struggles and achievements of Black Americans at a time when few others would.

It featured news, essays, art, and poetry — including the early works of Langston Hughes and other Harlem Renaissance icons. The Crisis didn’t just report history; it made history.

This shirt is a tribute to the power of the Black press, the importance of independent thought, and the legacy of speaking truth to power.

Bold in print. Louder in legacy. Wear The Crisis and rep the roots of resistance.
