A Gap in Our Thinking

Institutional Racism is itself instituted.  

Institute; defined as to set in motion or establish (something, especially a program, system, or inquiry).  Whether Separate but equal or anti-CRT textbooks, the gaps in the American education system are by design, and mass-produced at scale. The piece illustrates the whitewashing of history as a flawed desk but to the highest standard of design, engineering, and finishing work. A purpose-built product. The story of the Black Cowboy is one of lost or perhaps cut-out pieces of American History.
