Why an orange stole? On January 21, 2013, Hadiya Pendleton marched in President Obama’s second inaugural parade. One week later, Hadiya was shot and killed on a playground in Chicago. Soon after this tragedy, Hadiya’s friends commemorated her life by wearing orange, the color hunters wear in the woods to protect themselves and others. Wear Orange is now observed every June. Thousands of people wear the color orange to honor Hadiya and the more than 40,000 people who are killed with guns and approximately 85,000 who are shot and wounded every year.
This stole is created out of many different types of orange fabrics coming together to make one visual connection. Likewise, we are all different types of people but we can come together to honor survivors and build community with others working to end gun violence.
The above was our original intention when creating this stole. Interestingly, since then we have come to learn of the Canadians wearing orange to recognize Indigenous trauma and genocide. May this stole serve the message it needs to for those that you minister to.
The stole front is crafted from cotton fabric. It is lined with a coordinating orange fabric and is interfaced for added body.
Stole is available in several lengths as listed.
It measures 4 7/8" wide at the hem and tapers to 2 3/4" at the neck.
