From the banks of the Delaware to the Schuylkill River, Philadelphia is known as the birthplace of the United States—but its true history is far more rebellious than the traditional textbooks suggest.

The Radical Philadelphia Map tea towel uncovers the deep roots of organizing, protest, and progress in the City of Brotherly Love. Trace the footsteps of Mary Harris "Mother" Jones as she led the March of the Mill Children, locate the site of the country's earliest organized LGBTQ+ sit-ins at Dewey’s Restaurant, and honor the legacy of the abolitionists, civil rights champions, and pioneering women who fought for a better world.

Whether you are a local history enthusiast, searching for a meaningful gift, or just want to bring a piece of progressive history into your kitchen, this highly detailed, East-West oriented map is both an educational resource and a striking piece of homeware.

Key Features:

  • Rich Local History: Features dozens of meticulously researched locations spanning centuries of abolitionist, labor, feminist, and LGBTQ+ movements.

  • Inspiring Figures: Highlights the homes, workplaces, and battlegrounds of radical icons like Paul Robeson, Octavius Catto, and Frances E.W. Harper.

  • Custom Layout: Illustrated with an East-West orientation to perfectly capture Center City's geography and maximize the detailed text.

  • Practical & Display-Ready: High-quality fabric that is equally perfect for drying the dishes or framing as a unique piece of wall art.

Half Panama unbleached cotton (heavy weight, textured finish). Stitched on all four sides. Includes hanging loop. Measures approximately 48cm x 70cm. Machine wash at 40 degrees max. We recommend that before you use your tea towel for the first time you wash it at least once to soften up the material and make it more absorbent for drying dishes. Please note size can vary slightly.
