Black Lives Matter has launched the BLM Arts+Culture platform to include apparel, art and collections that accentuates African-American culture and up-and-coming designers, recording artists and contemporary visual artists.
According The Hollywood Reporter, the platform launched today and features shirts and tote nags with the Black Lives Matter messaging. The artwork on the graphic tees featured on the website were created by Emory Douglas, a graphic artist who worked as the Minister of Culture for the Black Panther Party.

“Black Lives Matter Arts+Culture uplifts artists who are staging cultural interventions and changing the world through their work,” said BLM founder Patrisse Cullors, who is leading the project.
The proceeds from the site will support the nearly 40 local Black Lives Matter chapters.
