OUR MISSION
HGC is committed to social justice and uplifting the voice of the voiceless. Our garments echo messages of picket signs that fill our streets through picket signs and the chants of the people. ‘They Love Our Culture, They Don’t Love Us!” is one of our most notorious battle cries, along with countless others, as we expose countless instances of discrimination, exploitation of our community.
Through the power of garments, we provide access to internships, scholarships, and grassroots involvement that promotes activism, diversity, and the inclusivity needed to create change on a global scale.
When you join this journey, know that you are part of a global army. Grab your pieces, make a statement, and remember you’re now a leader.

FIND YOUR VOICE
HGC LIBRARY
This library was created to add literature to the garments that have shifted the world and provided a voice for the voiceless. As a brand rooted in activism, we felt it necessary to unearth the literature of the Black Panthers that create the foundation for you to say it loud, “I’m Black and I’m Proud.”
All Books are used in great condition. If books have older editions available, we strive to provide the oldest edition to reduce environmental waste and carry on the literature of our ancestors.
100% of all book proceeds go towards HGC Academy 501(c)(3), which powers leaders with a thirst for social change in our community through self-development, organizing, and education.
Black Love Always. – Marcia Smith, Founder HGC Apparel
