Country can have multiple meanings -- country as in U.S.A., country as in country music, etc.]]> 2021-09-27 15:48:16 UTC https://padlet.com/alber478/3whhf04rnxpiiqnf/wish/1771635900 GabyPanetti https://padlet.com/alber478/3whhf04rnxpiiqnf/wish/1771636740 - The pool hints at the stereotype of Black people not being able to swim. But why is that such a prevalent stereotype? This is due to the lack of community centers and access to public pools in inner city/ heavily minoritized communities due to funding, segregation and fear of harm from the pools

    "white teenagers attacked black swimmers after activists or city officials opened public pools to blacks. For example, whites threw nails at the bottom of pools in Cincinnati, poured bleach and acid in pools with black bathers in St. Augustine, Florida, and beat them up in Philadelphia" (The Conversation).

    - The tapping of the head represents when one's head itches while they have weave, braids, a new/ fresh hairstyle and don't want to mess up the tracks, style, braids, etc.

    - Alabama basketball team is represented to pay homage to Beyonce's mother who is from Alabama
