Marie Van Brittan Brown Tee

Before Ring cameras, smart doorbells, and home security apps, there was Marie Van Brittan Brown.

In 1966, Brown co-invented the first home security system, laying the foundation for the technology millions rely on today.

This witty Black history T-shirt flips that pioneering achievement into a sharp cultural statement: “They Called It Paranoia. Now It’s Standard.”

Designed in the signature WiTee Roots™ heritage streetwear style, this tee celebrates Black innovation, overlooked genius, and the inventions that changed everyday life.

A conversation-starting graphic for history lovers, tech enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates the truth behind modern convenience.

Wear Black history. Wear the original blueprint. Inspired by the groundbreaking work of Marie Van Brittan Brown, inventor of the first home security system.

How to Not Ruin Your New Favourite Shirt:

Cold wash only — hot water is for people who like shrinking things
Turn it inside out before washing (that graphic isn't going anywhere if you look after it)
Gentle detergent only — this cotton is garment-dyed and laid back, treat it accordingly
First wash may bleed a little, so keep darker colours away from anything white or precious
Don't use bleach. Your shirt doesn't need it and won't forgive it
Skip the fabric softener — it messes with the feel and the fabric doesn't need help
Tumble dry low, or better yet hang it up and go do something fun
Air dry when you can — it's better for the shirt and better for the planet
Pull it out of the dryer as soon as it's done or you'll be de-wrinkling all day
Dry cleaning is a hard no
