Now that talks have renewed for the $20 Harriet Tubman bill, Sprayground is relaunching its limited-edition backpack honoring the abolitionist icon.

The global streetwear brand first launched the bag for Black History Month last year, selling out in just hours. And, well, since all of 2020 seems to be on do-over status, the brand is doing its first-ever relaunch for this year’s Black History Month.

“It’s an honor to be able to put an iconic historical figure in American culture on a Sprayground backpack,” said Sprayground owner and creative director David Ben-David in a recent statement. “Harriet Tubman’s activism influenced a great part of American culture and to be able to pay homage to such an amazing leader in our nation’s history during Black History Month is truly a privilege.” 

The backpack features a large rendering of Tubman’s portrait that was originally pushed by the Obama administration for a new $20 bill. The Biden Administration has picked up the effort and, if it succeeds, it would be the first bill to feature an African American woman on U.S. currency. 

The limited-edition ‘Harriet Tubman’ collection will relaunch exclusively at sprayground.com on Feb. 1 and will be available at select boutiques nationwide during the month. A portion of the proceeds will go to The Tubman Foundation.
