The Incredible History!

African Americans have been pivotal in shaping public radio in the US, contributing as journalists, hosts, and commentators on flagship programs like NPR's "Morning Edition" and "All Things Considered." Their voices enrich the medium by reflecting the diversity of experiences and perspectives within their community. Public radio serves as a crucial platform for African Americans, providing space for discussions on social justice, culture, and history through programs like "Code Switch" and "1A." This relationship underscores the importance of representation and dialogue within public radio, as it amplifies African American voices and addresses issues relevant to their lives, contributing to greater understanding and empowerment within the community and society at large.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are you Black-owned?

Yes. And it's great that you asked! TheBlackest Co. is proudly Black-owned and certified by the U.S. Black Chambers, Inc.

How long does shipping take?

Most orders are produced and ship out in 2–4 business days and take another 4–6 days to arrive (often sooner). Every item is made to order, which takes a little extra time, but ensures quality, reduces waste, and saves water.

How do I know what size?

Measure something you already own and love the fit of, then compare to our size chart on each product page. Our shirts generally run true to size — if you're between sizes or prefer a looser fit, sizing up is usually the way to go.

Can I use discount codes with...?

Good news — a lot of our codes do stack! We have so many running at once that the easiest way to know is to add them at checkout and see what happens. If it works, you'll see it. If not, no worries — the best deal will still always apply!

Is this made to order?

Yup - just like a birthday cake! Every item is made to order, which takes a little extra time, but ensures quality, reduces waste, and saves water.

What's your return policy?

If there's ever a workmanship issue — like a misprint, wrong size sent, or anything defective — we'll make it right, free of charge, ASAP. Email us with clear photos and your order number.

Because each item is made to order, we're not able to accept returns or exchanges for size or color choices...or life's regrets. We don't carry inventory to swap out and we don't resell returns.

Wait!? I've seen this design somewhere else!

Our popular & original designs get stolen constantly, and if you buy it anywhere but our site, you're rolling the dice on blurry prints, garbage print quality, cheap threadbare garments, and sellers who may never send the item anyway - they do not have a working print file, only a screenshot stolen from the web. We only sell this design here. Every other listing is stolen artwork from shady companies cashing in on our hard work. Buy Black. Buy original.

  • A Culture Vulture Free Zone

    Look, we're all for inclusion and the diverse celebration of Black History. However, it has become increasingly common for NON Black-owned companies to sell Black Culture while also falsely claiming to be Black-owned. This practice of cultural appropriation is not only dishonest but also disrespectful to the Black community. By profiting off of Black culture without actually supporting or empowering Black-owned businesses, these companies perpetuate systemic inequality and contribute to the erasure of Black voices and perspectives. It is important for consumers to do their research and support authentic Black-owned businesses that prioritize social justice, equity, and circulation of the Black dollar; rather than those that simply capitalize on the latest cultural trends.
