“Anchored in the current issues of social justice that confront the on-going advance of freedom and equality are the five examples featured in this quilt. These depicted stories of concern signal the necessity to continue the activism of the Civil Rights Movement. As we celebrate fifty-five years of milestone triumphs, these emerging current events remind us that incomprehensible acts fracture and continue practices engendered by hate, target individuals who are unjustly stigmatized, maligned and killed because of a warped and unfounded lens of inhumanity. Rooted in ignorance, myth and miseducation, racism, gender discrimination, and hate teachings promote practices that are in opposition to protection of the birth and civil rights of every person. The command “Don’t Hate Me” demands that love and protection are the tools with which we conquer hate.
