Under EO9066 during WWII, Japanese & Japanese American people were also forced into hastily made incarceration camps- Santa Anita Racetracks horse stables were white washed but it still smelt of manure. they don’t care that these aren’t fit for humans- they don’t see Brown & Black peoples as human

So #DrawEverythingJune is an art challenge that goes throughout the month, and like any extended art challenge, people burn out or give up, and only a few people are left by the end to claim the prize What's interesting is watching this happen in real time

Me vs my art style 😭
