The nature of this plague holds its roots deep inside people and the swift of laws and politics do not suffice in getting rid of the racist mentality; a mentality that may not be obvious in our everyday interactions, but influences and effects the lives of so many people, the oppressed and the oppressors. \nThe people of the African diaspora have been one of the most oppressed people in the new world. The Atlantic slave trade brought their ancestors to the Americas to slave and build economies and countries, and even though the wealth, both cultural and economic, of the Americas are results of this slaving, Afro-Americans, to this day, do not enjoy the same privileges in the Americas, as their fellow European-American citizens.   \nIn an effort to fight racism, this project will address non-African people of the globe and ask them a very simple question, what has African culture do for you? As was said earlier, in the western world, we see remnants of African culture everywhere in our lives. This project will have people stop, think, and write on a piece of paper how the culture brought to the Americas with the enslaved Africans has influenced, made, changed their lives. \nThese pieces of paper will be collected and exhibited. They will bring realizations to the visitors and will help them internally fight the plagues of prejudice and racism.","space":"The hand-written pieces of paper will be framed and exhibited on the walls. Next to them, there will be their typed transcriptions. Only the first names and nationality of the senders will be presented. A short description of the project and its themes will also be posted on a wall close to the entrance.","artists_proposal":null,"members":[],"lang":"en","status":"ok","video_link_password":null,"video_link":null,"audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":null,"images_link":null,"cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"names":"Alexandros","surname":"Louloudis","email":"louloudisalex@hotmail.com","dni_type":"DNI","dni":"265387","address":"Antigonou 19A, Drama, Greece","city":"Drama","nacionality":"Greek","country_id":"91","birthdate":"1993-02-09T05:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1993-02-09T05:00:00.000Z","telephone":"+306942945226","web":"https:\/\/alexlouloudis.com\/"}
