Elijah Brown created the art for use on a shirt honoring Black History Month.The t-shirt will be sold at Meijer stores throughout the Midwest. The design features an image of a bird and a cage. The accompanying message reads, “This isn’t just a month, it’s every day for us."

Brown works on his craft at West Michigan Center for Arts and Technology. Meijer teamed up with WMCAT for a shirt to celebrate Black History Month. Speaking of Brown, Trudy Ngo-Brown, WMCAT’s director of arts and programs told WOOD TV,

"He’s familiar with the process. He also expressed interest in leveling up and getting more experiences."
