BHCTV Apparel was founded in 2014 and officially launched January 2015. We are an apparel company striving to provide customers with progressive, conscious clothing, jewelry, fabrics, health/beauty products, art, African and/or African-inspired items at affordable prices.
BHCTV stands for Black History Channel TV. As such, we use the image of a television as our operating logo. To borrow from the original provocative statement by renowned poet Gil Scott-Heron, “The revolution WILL be televised”, and we hope to be the channel by which it is done. Stay tuned!
BHCTV Apparel was created to promote cultural awareness, to give the autochthonous people of African descent a sense of empowerment, self-pride, cultural pride, and to educate those scattered around the globe through messages on apparel.
We chose to use the TV to end the misconception that the "TV" is destroying the youth with what's shown on today's broadcasts. We feel that by placing African history inside the TV on a t-shirt, we are then controlling and owning our own network, which will counteract "Operation Mockingbird". If the notion is true that what you watch will influence your consciousness, then we at BHCTV APPAREL offer only REVOLUTIONARY PROGRAMMING. Inside the TV we use "CH9", another name for our business, to symbolize the "9 Ether" that melanated people of the world obtain at birth.
Mission statement: Our mission is to change the way Africans and people of African descent in America view themselves and think, by awakening them and or highlighting African achievements past or present, through artistic expression on clothing.
Revolutionary apparel for the PEOPLE! Wear what reflects your story, and not His-Story.....
