York College is representative of this community’s tendency to hide from or misrepresent the Truth………Fortunately there are those that try to hold them accountable……..Shame, I hope they learn something from this……….http://www.ydr.com/…/york-college-named-2017-lis…/977938001/

Went to visit an absolutely stunning art and social commentary exhibit today. The Paul Rucker exhibit “Rewind” which is on display at York College until tomorrow evening is awesome. It is unfortunate that the College felt it necessary to restrict access to this enlightening and thought provoking exhibit. It could have served as a powerful catalyst for this community to really begin a much needed, honest and introspective conversation on Race. Instead of applying a politically correct bandage to questions of race that is normally done in this community, this exhibit Rips the Scab of complacency off the historical injustices and transgressions in a manner that could allow us to sterilize and then cauterize those historical wounds as we attempt to move forward in a much more equitable manner. I only had a short time to view the exhibit. Other parts included a fascinating display of musical instrument parts constructed in a manner that depicts historically significant events. There is also a display of ‘Famous last words’ of many of the Black men and women who died at the hands of overly aggressive police officials. There were also artifacts and books which spanned hundreds of years of racial and human injustice in this country……..If you have an opportunity to check this out please do it will be well worth your time.
