Racism and Equality

Civil rights march on Washington, D.C., Warren Leffler, 1963, Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division, LC-U9-10364-37

Adversaries of the United States have created propaganda that highlights our nation’s racial inequality to promote anti-American sentiment, disrupt U.S. international relations, and bolster support at home for their own policies. Calling out racial inequality in the United States highlights the inconsistencies in America’s narrative of promoting freedom and served to incite revolutionary action and escalate racial tension within the United States.
