Compton Hats
Description: Compton is a city in the South Los Angeles region. It is the 7th oldest (by incorporation) and 16th most-populous in Los Angeles County. Future presidents George H.W. and George W. lived there in 1949 and '50. It is famous for the Compton Cowboys of Richland Farms and the Compton Cricket Club, among other things. I explored it and made this map in 2011 for my series, "California Fool's Gold." https://ericbrightwell.com/2011/02/23/california-fools-gold-exploring-compton-los-angeles-countys-hub-city/
Description: More than a city — it's a sound, a struggle, and a statement. From the raw fury of N.W.A to the poetic fire of Kendrick Lamar, COMPTON changed the face of hip hop forever. This shirt pays tribute to the birthplace of gangsta rap, resistance, and West Coast royalty. Loud, proud, and always real.
