Combatting Racism:

Listening to Diverse Voices

β€œIt might not be blatant or community-defining, but racism does exist and does bubble up in Flagstaff.”  Racism against African Americans has been isolating, toward Asian Americans, discriminatory and with Latino and Native Americans, outrightly hostile. Open Doors attempts to look at ethnic racism in our community through the eyes of Caucasian, Latino, Native American, African American and Asian artists.
