There Is No Scrap Wood Just Pieces Not Yet Used Shirt
He had been working with the Timbers’ Vice President of Community Impact, Kristel Wissel, since long before February 1, trying to come up with a plan for the month. At one time, the list of concepts was six items long – a brainstorm of initiatives Ebobisse and the club’s community service arm, Stand Together, could execute. The core of each idea was the same: How could Ebobisse’s message take center stage during Black History Month?For Ebobisse, no matter what Stand Together did, it had to recognize one, bigger goal.“I wanted to make sure whatever we did went beyond February,” he explained. “And a lot of that is still fluid, but a shirt, clothing, style, something that a lot of people take pride in, is not just going to be worn exclusively during the month.”The design Ebobisse settled on was pressed in January, distributed to the Timbers before Portland left for Costa Rica, and was being worn by teammates to training sessions come the final days of January. When February arrived, the shirt went on sale at the team’s online store, with three terms that have become themes of Ebobisse interviews featured across its front.“The shirt comes from different talks that I’ve had with different news outlets,” he says. “[We] chose to highlight three words: engage; elevate and educate.”

And you’re doing the work a disservice … It doesn’t make you a better person just because you’ve read it if you don’t take the time to understand it.“And then engage in people. People have stories to share.”The last word of Ebobisse’s trio amplifies his views on how black history is told. “When you talk about black history,” he says, “you really don’t talk about it.” Too often the lens through which it’s discussed, he feels, fails to highlight the voices that matter most.
