Designers Confront Structural Racism in the Profession

“A MAN WAS lynched yesterday.” Between 1920 and 1938, a flag bearing those words flew from the window of the NAACP’s headquarters in New York each time a Black person was lynched in this country. On May 26, the organization posted a black-and-white photograph of that banner to its Instagram account, with a caption demanding justice for George Floyd—the Black man killed by Minneapolis police the previous day.
