Free-ish Since 1865 Juneteenth T Shirt Design With Raised Fists
This FREE-ISH SINCE 1865 Juneteenth t shirt design is a single distressed graphic that includes SVG, PNG, DXF, EPS and PDF files for making t-shirts, hoodies, tote bags, posters and stickers. You get the bold activist look of two raised fists in black and white breaking free from broken handcuffs and chain links, set against a retro horizontal stripe sunset background. The lettering is done in bold block lettering with a vintage distressed texture, layered in navy blue, mustard yellow, tan brown, dusty mauve, off-white and black on a solid off-white base. It feels empowering, defiant and resilient, perfect for Juneteenth, Black History Month and Emancipation Day in summer.
