Letters too…
Campaign created by the Farmville NAACP Youth Council.
The purpose of this campaign is to garner allies, keep up the energy of protest, remind everyone what we are fighting for, and callout those who have remained silent in our time of need.
After schools closed in 1959, we were left to educate ourselves while our parents tax dollars were being funneled into all white private schools. This is our passive fight, our silent fight. Hear our plead in our newest campaign Letters too…

The Complacent
We see you. Our eyes glued to the back of your head as you walk past without batting an eye to our plight. Your face replays over and over in our head like film.
Addressed to
To begin our letters, we wanted to congratulate the “Last Class of 59’” and extend our support to their future endeavors. The image shows a Classroom in Moton High School while students sit in dress clothes surrounding a furnace in the middle. The image shows how far Black students were to go to get educated they’d sit in the cold or hot. As you can see this post is like by Instagram user PrincipleJJ, he is one of three principles of the school John Jackson. Now if you look in the top left you see our profile picture is circled in a bright red
To the complacent, We see you. This post was intentionally targeting those who have remained silent. As you can see, we see her face twice; reminding people we see you and your image is burned in our memory. Overlaying the image is are two circles one with the full picture and the other hollow circling her face. Behind the main image is film for the same reason we see her face twice the moment constantly replays.
And our final letter, addressed to you. Everyone needs to see this. Most of this post is in Black and White however, the gray has bleeds into the background and it covers the image. The world isn’t as simple as black and white. Liking the picture is Instagram user the fighting preacher, that is Rev. L Francis Griffin and commenting on the post is the Farmville chapter of the NAACP reminding us we are making a change.
