Thorshirts – Here Come The Sun And I Say It’s Alright Shirt

 African American hospital workers, including nurses, at a hospital in Nashville, July 1863 I thought it was really important to also enter the heart, when we think about the women who sent photographs to their husbands who were at war or battle so that they could remember the love that they left and the love that they hoped to return to. I think of Amelia Brogan, the fact that her photograph has survived and is up at Onondaga [a historical site in Syracuse, New York]. I saw that photograph in the ’80s, and I had not connected the story of her family and the Douglass relationship because I wasn’t doing research about that then. But I was fascinated because of her dress. There was a sense of pride in style and dress that was central to that experience, and I think that that’s the range of experiences that I wanted to bring—the sense of girl culture.

Being a girl, I love women. I love the fact that our voices are silenced and loud at the same time. I can still remember things that my grandmother said to me that created a sense of protection.  But I say the same thing with the soldiers, that the women who taught them—these are both Black and white women, white women who were the wives of some of the lieutenants or the leaders of the troops, and the white women who left the North, such as Laura Towne, who left with Charlotte Forten to teach the newly free children and the soldiers. But it was important for me to elevate and create a sonic experience [around] these women based on the fact that they were teaching the men how to write, send letters to their families, and receive their pay—so that they could sign their names, not just an X. At the same time, some were washerwomen, there to help the men survive. The role of sanitation and cleanliness and health is a quiet story. Most of the men died because of unsanitary conditions, and the role of women was to clean the wounds, clean the clothes. So the labor of women expanded from the intellect to the body.
