In honor of Black History Month and the legacy of one the United States' most prominent African-American activists, the clothing company Bodega is making available for sale a beautiful Malcolm X Sweater.
The Malcolm X Sweater is made from 100% hand knit wool and prominently displays the "by any means necessary" human rights activist on the back of the sweater in his iconic pose. Working in conjunction with the Canadian sweater company Granted, Bodega is only creating 20 of these these Malcolm X Wool Sweaters, and due to the hand knit process involved in their fabrication, no two sweaters will be alike.
Set to be available for sale on Saturday February 8, the Malcolm X Sweater is a beautiful way to celebrate Black History Month and your love for Malcolm X.
