About Design of Stay Woke T Shirt
The term woke is a slang word that originated in African American Vernacular English (AAVE) and means “aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice).” It is derived from the past tense of wake: “I was sleeping, but now I’m woke.”
The term gained more popularity in 2008 when singer Erykah Badu used it in her song “Master Teacher,” where she sings, “I stay woke” as a mantra of self-empowerment and enlightenment.
However, the term became more widely known and used in 2014 after the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, which sparked the Black Lives Matter movement. Activists and supporters of the campaign used the hashtag #StayWoke on social media to urge people not to ignore the systemic racism and police brutality that affect black communities in the US and worldwide.
Staying woke is a call to action and a reminder that we live in a world where injustice and oppression are still prevalent and must be challenged.
