Twitter has resurrected a decades-old controversy over Walmart's decision to pull a T-shirt with the slogan "Someday a woman will be president" off its shelves in 1995.

History professor Nick Kapur, of Rutgers University, highlighted the incident in a series of tweets on Tuesday. "It was determined the T-shirt was offensive to some people and so the decision was made to pull it from the sales floor," Walmart spokesperson Jane Bockholt told The Associated Press at the time, in an article published by The Tuscaloosa News. The article is dated Sept. 23, 1995.

The T-shirt was white with the cartoon character Margaret, from "Dennis the Menace," shown holding her hands up in excitement. The phrase appears above her in a comic speech bubble.

A faded, black-and-white image of a child wearing the shirt can be seen in the AP story.

Psychologist Ann Moliver Ruben, who designed the shirt, told AP at the time that she didn't like Walmart's decision to "censor" the message.

"It's humorous and delightful," she told AP. "What could be threatening about that? Evidently, it is to them and to their organization."

Walmart put the shirt back out for sale in December of 1995, according to an archived story from the Miami Herald. A Walmart spokesperson said at the time that the company "overreacted" by pulling the shirt off its shelves.

Ruben was 70 when she spoke to AP in 1995.

A Twitter account with the name Ann Ruben has sent out several tweets about the shirt in recent years. The unverified account includes a photo of Ruben's memoir in its profile.

"I smile every day I look at the t-shirt I created that says SOMEDAY A WOMAN WILL BE PRESIDENT!" Ruben tweeted in April of 2014. html She claimed in earlier tweets to have sent one of her T-shirts to Hillary Clinton.

A similar shirt is currently for sale on Etsy.
