Some painters transform the sun into a yellow spot, others transform a yellow spot into a sun.- Pablo Picasso

“Everybody has asked the question, and they learned to ask it early of the abolitionists, ‘What shall we do with the Negro?’ I have had but one answer from the beginning. Do nothing with us! Your doing with us has already played the mischief with us.”

The way to right wrongs is to turn the light of truth upon them.

Ida B. Wells

In slave times the Negro was kept subservient and submissive by the frequency and severity of the scourging, but, with freedom, a new system of intimidation came into vogue; the Negro was not only whipped and scourged; he was killed.

 

Ida B. Wells, 1895

Have you ever tried to read text that was in yellow? Yellow is the most fatiguing of all colors to the eye. This is because the brightness of the color means that the amount of light reflected is quite high. Believe it or not, using yellow as a background on paper, computer monitors, or otherwise can lead to eyestrain or even vision loss in the most extreme of cases.

High levels of exposure to yellow can also create irritability, aggression, or anger. This is simply due to the intensity of the color. Many individuals report agitation when placed in a yellow room.
