An infographic for Black History Month titled "Foundation for Change" highlights three core principles for social justice. The first section, Legal ≠ Just, uses a gavel and scales to illustrate that legality does not always equal morality. The second, Progress via Resistance, depicts a raised fist breaking chains and driving an upward-trending arrow. The final section, Action over Symbolism, shows a hand supporting a heavy weight labeled "Responsibility," which outweighs a small "Symbolism" ribbon on a scale. Below these, four pillars support this weight: Serious Education, Listen to Leaders, Active Vigilance, and Organized Resistance.

Screenshot of an article from The Intercept with the headline: “Trump Is Putting Confederate Statues Back Up. Here’s Why They Must Fall Again.” The subheading reads: “Monuments to racism license racist violence. White supremacists, for their part, know this well.” The byline credits Natasha Lennard and lists the date as August 8, 2025, at 10:42 a.m. Below the headline is a photograph showing a toppled bronze statue lying on its back in the grass, with its pedestal lying sideways beside it. Nearby concrete steps are spray-painted, and the scene appears to be in front of a government or institutional building with trees and shrubbery in the background.

The image contains text discussing themes of objectivity, bias, and systemic issues like white supremacy, misogyny, and racism. It emphasizes the need to recognize historically marginalized voices and encourages participation in a learning program called "Confronting Whiteness,"
