“The significant societal transformations that have emerged in response to issues of racism and discrimination, particularly concerning the Black community. This awareness serves as a catalyst for discussions surrounding systemic inequalities and the historical context that has shaped the experiences of Black individuals in the nation’s capital. By fostering a deeper understanding of these societal changes, the movement aims to address the persistent challenges faced by marginalized groups and promote a more equitable society.
In recent years, Washington, D.C., has witnessed a growing consciousness regarding the impact of racism and discrimination on the Black population. This heightened awareness has prompted various initiatives and movements aimed at dismantling systemic barriers and advocating for social justice. As communities come together to confront these issues, there is a collective effort to educate the public about the historical injustices that have contributed to the current state of racial inequality, thereby fostering a more inclusive environment.”
Unfortunately, I have experienced racism and discrimination since I was a high school student in the 1990s in my hometown, Washington, DC. I chose red to depict the importance and urgency of racism and discrimination on African - Americans and yellow for inclusion.
