Made by local artist from eastern kentucky, Lacy Hale!
In 2017 Lacy created the slogan and the No Hate in My Holler design in protest of a group of white nationalists coming to a nearby town to recruit. The No Hate in My Holler pieces are by far her most requested items and this project is the project that she is most proud of. With every No Hate in My Holler item sold, she donates 25% of proceeds to a local non profit working toward equality in the central Appalachian region. Since 2017 she has raised over $7,000 for such non profits. The current non profit who she is donating to is The Southeast Kentucky African American Heritage and Cultural Center.
“I do a lot of print making, a lot of fine art, but the piece that I’m probably most proud of is the No Hate in My Holler piece that I did in response to a white supremacist group coming to southeastern Kentucky in 2017,” Hale said. “Since then it has blown up and people all over the country and the world who identify with being from a holler, adopted this phrase and bought T-shirts and screamed it from the rooftops and I couldn’t be prouder of that.”
