Description
History and symbolism come together in this striking design. The pattern recalls The Little George, a slaving ship overtaken in 1730 by the Africans it carried, who freed themselves and returned to shore. Black represents the ropes and threads that connect us through history; blue and green evoke the turbulent sea; and white sparrows guide the way home. Designed by a Washington, D.C., artist and hand-printed in India.
