Amongst the vitrines devoted to the palatial and opulent designers spanning the past eight decades, stands three pieces by Tremaine Emory, founder of Denim Tears.
This is a book that speaks directly to our current moment, contextualizing the systems of race and caste within which we operate today. It reveals long-glossed-over truths around our nation’s founding and construction—and the way that the legacy of slavery did not end with emancipation, but continues to shape contemporary American life.
