Harriet Tubman Tea Towel

Harriet Tubman was a women with incredible powers, or superpowers. Born into slavery in 1822, Tubman escaped and subsequently made some thirteen missions to rescue approximately seventy enslaved people, family and friends, using the network of antislavery activists and safe houses known as the Underground Railroad. 

During the American Civil War she served as an armed scout and spy for the US Army. In her later years, Tubman was an activist in the struggle for women's suffrage. 

Have you caught the film "Harriet", directed by Kasi Lemmons?  It is utterly brilliant. This incredible women was a black female Moses.

The Radical Tea Towel Company

Bea, Tim, and Luke, the founders of The Radical Tea Towel, were inspired by Bea's mother, Pat, who was a radical. Pat was a socialist, a feminist, and a peace campaigner, known for her unwavering loyalty as a mother and grandmother. She lived her values, speaking her mind with politeness and engaging with people from all walks of life. When Pat passed away in 2010, Bea wanted to find a meaningful gift for her partner, David, who shared her mother's politics. Unable to find a political tea towel online, Bea, Tim, and Luke decided to start their own company.

Despite their lack of business experience, they believed that there were others who wanted to give gifts that carried a message, made people think, and offered hope. They designed their own tea towels and had them manufactured in the UK with ethical partners. The response was overwhelming, with customers sharing their designs and blogs on social media, spreading the message of radical history. As they continue to grow their small business, they are proud to educate others about the origins of rights and freedoms.

Though Pat and David would likely tease them for participating in 21st-century social media capitalism, Bea and her family hope they would also be proud of their efforts. With gratitude for the support they've received, they continue to promote their vision of a more progressive and enlightened world through The Radical Tea Towel.
