Facing Racism on display at Jersey Shore University Medical Center
To commemorate Black History Month, Chhange is honored to display Facing Racism at Jersey Shore University Medical Center.
Over 400 students, age pre-school through college, participated in Facing Racism. This student art installation challenged our youth to confront racism. Through artistic expression and words, students expose the pain and injustice of racism. They “face” it head-on, sharing their emotions, as well as their commitment to take a stand against it. Student artist statements are also displayed in the exhibit.
The Exhibit’s Goals:
Encourage visitors to think about racism and how it affects individuals
Provide opportunity for reflection about experiencing racism
Inspire students to share their views and experiences, and make their voices heard
- Help promote the elimination of racism
Chhange educates, inspires, and empowers individuals to stand up to injustice.
