ORIANA TANG
7 Second Protest
It looms, the last in a row of three boards, along the left side of the highway as you drive north, just past exit 42. It’s quiet in contrast with the loudness of the other boards, almost stark. On the day I first saw it in person, its black background looked like a faded blot against the overcast sky. Its message, printed in narrow white and yellow block letters, was hard to make out from a distance. But as we approached, the words crystallized just long enough for us to read before we sped past. “HATE DOES NOT MAKE GREAT.”
