Page #71
About this Page: This page took a long time to make. My illustrator is swamped with work and I originally struggled with the vision for this page. I wanted to cover the topic right and also include Huntington’s maps side-by-side. This page is dedicated to one of my university professors who single-handedly opened my eyes to the concept of structural racism. I remember this particular lecture about Huntington’s environmental determinism that changed many things for me.
During high school, a close friend and I were discussing our grandparents when she began telling me about her grandfather being a part of the Manhattan Project. I remember my jaw dropping with a bit of gleeful discovery and hearing her mom in the background, “Lindsay! Don’t tell people that!” I myself didn’t care, but I think it can resemble the rose-colored history class – one that keeps ugly history hush-hush for the sake of nationalism.
The two maps I illustrated are created with references from Huntington’s original. Dan Harris was kind of enough to create the foreground for this page, while I added to the background, the maps, newspaper text, and storyline by myself. I hope you enjoy it.
