Introducing MOTHER, a commemorative crown from Dungeon Forward honoring the enduring legacy of Dr. Mary McLeod Bethune—an educator, political leader, and cultural architect of Black excellence. This piece celebrates her foundational work in civil rights, education, and empowerment, capturing her presence and power through intricate, story-rich design.

Rendered in a tan and black tonal pattern, the crown features a bold vertical embroidered nylon appliqué that reads "MOTHER" in maroon and gold—symbolizing her status as a matriarch of a movement. On one side, an image of Dr. Bethune stands proudly before the Capitol dome, a nod to her influence in shaping national policy and uplifting generations. On the other, her dignified portrait and signature are printed with reverence, placing her wisdom literally at your side.

The bill is crafted in rich black suede for contrast and depth, while a red tag across the front panel reads:
"Without faith, nothing is possible. With it, nothing is impossible."
— a direct quote from Bethune that embodies her unwavering spirit.

This crown is not just a hat. It’s an heirloom. A salute to a woman who moved the nation forward. A wearable monument for those who believe that our history deserves the crown.

Limited Edition. For the culture. For the future.
