Lewy’s Law features a branded denim strap that recognizes the first African- American man to secure voting rights in Wisconsin. Gillespie Palmer was born a southern slave who eventually paid $800 for his freedom. After moving to Milwaukee, he quickly became a leader in his black community, operated a branch of the Underground Railroad and aided in helping open the state’s first African- American church.
After being denied a ballot to vote (as a free man), Gillespie sued the Board of Elections. The case of Gillespie v. Palmer went all the way to the state’s Supreme Court, resulting in Palmer’s triumph over racial limitations.
The color of this hat was chosen specifically. Olive green encompasses balance and is regarded as a color that depicts serenity and a grounding nature.
