A four-panel illustration depicting a framework for racial liberation. Each panel shows a closed wooden door set into a teal wall, representing systemic barriers to liberation. Panel 1, labelled "Unjust World", shows a wide staircase with handrails leading up to the door. Panel 2, labelled "Racial Equality", replaces the stairs with a single ramp. Panel 3, labelled "Racial Equity", shows three routes to the door: stairs on the left, a lift in the centre, and a ramp on the right. Panel 4, labelled "Liberation", removes the door entirely, replacing it with a wide open doorway through which bright light streams onto the floor below. 19:07© BRK Ujima 2025, licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0.
