In Jacob's own words "The T-shirt is a staple of the American wardrobe, worn by pretty much everyone at one time or another. Its a sort of common denominator in a culture marked by differences. On this edition, well hear how three T-shirt designers use the garments as a way to fight racism, communicate cultural identity, and mourn friends who've passed away."
