“In a vibrant tapestry of symbolism, this design intertwines the bold red poppy flowers, dogwood flowers, synonymous with remembrance and resilience. Featuring illustration of local activist James “TT” Foushee, a beacon of light and advocacy for his community. During Easter Week of 1964, Foushee, along with three others, started a fast on the post office lawn on Franklin Street. The Ku Klux Klan later responded with a rally in town. These elements converge with the image of a graduate, adorned in their blue cap and gown, defiantly protesting, embodying the spirit of courage and determination we’ve witnessed from some community members. Together, they evoke the essence of the ongoing struggle for racial justice, each element a testament to the indomitable spirit of those who dare to challenge the status quo. Through their collective presence, they echo the timeless words of the late John Lewis, urging us to stir up ‘Good Trouble’ in pursuit of a more equitable world.”
