Statement (excerpt)
Letter (Excerpt from Letter the Newberry Library), January 30, 2022
“I had considered not submitting the logo for the American Indian Center as their leadership showcased their anti-Black values with an All Life Matters (initially “All Lives Matter”) outdoor mural by Robert Wapahi. The previous Director, Heather Miller, requested that the artist capture the times of racial and social justice actions occurring in communities. I submitted the logo in this collection because the community must have a Native-designed and community-based representation, not a non-Indigenous perspective. The logo may stand longer than the colonized leadership currently in place. The American Indian Center’s previous Director had not issued an official apology. The organization has not posted an official statement on its website or stated how the organization and board plan to address racism against the Black, African American, and Afro-Indigenous Communities.”
