It’s only when we zoom out that the picture becomes clearer. Progress is not only evident, it is inevitable. When I was a boy, the laws were such in many states that I couldn’t even marry someone of the white race. Racism was baked into our laws, and the social structures reinforced it. Now, eighty years later, I’m married to a white *dude*! Things change, and the long arc bends, usually for the better because we have fought so hard for it.

This is a once in a lifetime view, which coincidentally is the name of a track on the album Spectators by Wolfsheim, which has a very similar image on the cover.

People in gas masks reminds me of Norwegian alt rockers Kaizers Orchestra, who feature them on several of their album covers.
Track: De Involverte "Those Involved"
Band: Kaizers Orchestra
Album: Evig Pint
