Clothing giant The Gap has found itself in hot water after the release of a T-Shirt with a term normally used in relation to the genocide of Native Americans in the 19th Century.
The company is now facing an online storm and calls for boycotts until the shirt design is removed from shelves.
Artist Steven Judd made his own version of the “Manifest Destiny” T-shirt and he spoke to APTN National News from Oklahoma.

They already made a comment yesterday that they pulled the shirt and their version of an apology.

On their page it says it is out of stock. It should read that it has been DISCONTINUED! Still great to see everyone band together and speak out against this!
