The Racial Justice Poster Project commemorates
March 21, the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.


‘Tell Her’ by Juana Alicia, commissioned by Akonadi Foundation as the 2019 Racial Justice Poster. 

‘“What Will You Tell Your Daughters About 2016?” is a call to arms, to resist the madness of the current era of rising fascism, racial hatred, gender discrimination, misogyny, and white supremacy. Hodge proclaims the birthright of women to create a more humane society, an intergenerational legacy to be sung frequently, whenever the odds seem too great.’

-Juana Alicia
