DeAndre Rhodes - "Like Malcolm"

On View: Thursday, December 3 – Sunday, December 6

Like Malcolm honors the legacy of civil rights activist and revolutionary, Malcolm X. The words, "From Omaha Like Malcolm" sit in the center of these tees and hoodies printed by designer, photographer, and 2020 Union Fellow DeAndre Rhodes. These personable pieces of clothing empower and inform Omaha residents and our brothers and sisters around the globe about the unique birthplace of a Black leader.

“It was important for me to display this message in such a personal way because for Omahans, it sparked pride to be associated with such a historical figure and for visitors it serves as a souvenir. These personal mementos will also be used to spark dialogue between strangers and friends around who Malcolm X was/is and how Malcolm’s example can be used for positive personal change.”

Like Malcolm will be open for business Thursday, December 3-Sunday, December 6. A pop-up location is in the works. To stay up to date please email: deandre@canoncoltrane.com or program coordinator Mary Lawson: mary@u-ca.org
