Roots of Terror – They Hung Him Here -(Sweatshirt) Lynching Postcards Collection

The Roots of Terror – They Hung Him Here sweatshirt confronts one of the most chilling realities of American history — the public terror of lynching. This piece is not created for comfort alone; it is a confrontation, a remembrance, and a refusal to forget.

The design depicts the horror of racial violence — a man hanging from a tree while witnesses stand by. It’s an unflinching reflection of the terror used to control and dehumanize Black people across generations. The title, Roots of Terror – They Hung Him Here, speaks both to the soil that holds this country’s darkest truths and to the collective trauma that still echoes today.

This sweatshirt is part of the Lynching Postcards Collection, a series dedicated to preserving the truth through unapologetic visual storytelling. Every design challenges the silence that often surrounds Black suffering and honors those whose stories were never told.
