ANIMAS HIGH SCHOOL CLASS OF 2021

Editorial Message Table of Contents

by Ava-Kadence Jennings

As a group of 10 mostly white teenagers from Animas High School, we understand

our privilege and the responsibility we hold to help dismantle the racism that most of
us will never experience in our lifetimes. We realize that while most of us don’t have
personal experience with racial injustice, we are capable of being allies to others,
helping raise up silenced voices, and aiding our fellow BIPOC citizens as they face a
world of systemic racism. We also understand the importance of educating ourselves
about these issues in our own community, so we can actively be a part of the solution.
Throughout the year we have been studying justice and what it means for different
people and communities. This has led to a reflection of what justice means for us
as individuals, and how we see it affecting the people and society around us. The
prompt for this project was to focus on an injustice that is currently present in our
community, ranging from environmental to gender-based injustice, to our topic of
racial injustice. As a collection of highly motivated students ready to make a real
impact, our spirits fell as we slowly realized many of our project ideas were out of
reach considering the COVID-19 restrictions. Recognizing our role in our
community, we realized that a magazine was the best way for us to be allies to our
BIPOC neighbors, helping raise up their voices instead of trampling over them, and
share our own views from a place of acknowledgment instead of some white savior
complex. So here we present to you; Justice, a magazine to reflect our learning with
the goal of helping educate others and present resources to better our community.

Cover Artist Statement

by Nick Austin

When I took on the role of designing this piece, it initially seemed like a daunting task.
Blinded by my privilege and position in society, I didn’t believe that I could appropri-
ately represent the message of our ‘Zine, being that we would like to elevate the voices
of the oppressed. Trying to design a piece that is meant to represent this message while
being a young white man from America didn’t feel like my place. After some delibera-
tion with my group, we came up with the idea to make the cover a portrait of a mock-
ingbird. Doubtful at first because it seemed like riding the coattails of a successful and
historical piece that had already been produced, I decided to do a little bit of research.
I found that the mockingbird represents innocence and peace, and the title of the book
“To Kill a Mockingbird” was representing the destruction of innocence, and showing
those who are often punched down upon and oppressed in our society. Knowing this,
I chose to depict the bird in flight. To me, flight represents escape and defiance, an act
of choosing to disobey one of the fundamental laws of nature, being gravity. Such an
innocent and fragile creature as the mockingbird taking flight represents how no matter

BIPOC Perspectives in La Plata County
by Daniel Garcia
Kelly R, 17, Identifies as: Black
In today’s society how/have you felt that you have been oppressed in our com-
munity/in today’s society?
“As a black young woman I have been spoken to with a condescending tone on too
many occasions for me to count.”
“Although I cannot prove that it correlates to my race, I typically tend to get patted
down every time at our local airport when I travel in our airport.”
Do you believe that oppression against people of color is getting worse/ or better
in our community/society as a whole?
“I think we are getting better, and I like to see the good in people, but I also know
that not all people are as good as I like to think and need to be strong for circum-
stances of oppression that I face in life.”
Do you think racism is common in our community?
“For me I feel like in Durango it isn’t a big pressing issue, but it still happens subtly.
For example sometimes I notice store owners watching me closely when I walk
around stores, I always feel uncomfortable, and always make it obvious when I set
down merchandise so they don’t mistake me for stealing.”
Any other comments/pressing concerns towards the topic as a whole?
“None but is happy we are writing on this subject and are spreading awareness.”
Keily R, Identifies as: Mexican
In today’s society how/have you felt that you have been oppressed in our com-
munity/in today’s society?
“I have been called a beaner on many occasions, and although I don’t nessecarilty
consider that to be oppression, it still hurts and it makes me feel as less than, rather
than what I actually am.. A human being.”
Do you believe that oppression against people of color is getting worse/ or better
in our community/society as a whole?
“I think it’s getting better because I think that our community is pretty accepting and
I don’t get oppressed because of my skin color too often. It’s only on occasions.”
Do you believe that racism is common in our community?
“I don’t think it’s super common in Durango but I do think it is a bigger issue in other
bigger places around the USA.”

Dominick C, 25, Identifies as: Mexican/Native American
In today’s society how/have you felt that you have been oppressed in our com-
munity/in today’s society?
“I recall being told to go to my country when I was 16 years old with my dad. All
we did towards that man to get that response was parking in a spot that we parked at
first.”
Do you believe that oppression against people of color is getting worse/ or better
in our community/society as a whole?
“I tend not to think about oppression, because I like to think it’s not real in our com-
munity. I guess you could say I don’t pay enough attention.”
Do you think racism is common in our community?
“I think it is a decreasing matter, but I still think many people still profile me and
other colored people on occasions and make generalizations that correlate to being
illegal in this country, when i’m just a regular American just like anybody else. I just
happen to have beautiful tan skin and speak spanish too.”
Any other comments/pressing concerns towards the topic as a whole?
“I just want to live in an America that doesn’t automatically profile me for a poor, job
stealing immigrant, but instead a human being with potential to grow in all aspects.”
Shania H. Identifies as: African American
Do you believe that oppression against people of color is getting worse/ or better
in our community/society as a whole?
“In Durango I think it is getting better, because I don’t typically experience signs of
oppression and racism when I’m in public too often.”
Do you believe that racism is common in our community?
“I believe people have racial biases, but don’t express them publicly which makes
them hard to be noticed.”
Any other comments/pressing concerns towards the topic as a whole?
“As a Black individual, I feel like we have a long way to go until racial biases and
racism are fully gone”.

All My Homies Hate Top That
by Alyssa Nicoly
On November 9th, I posted a video
showing the owner of Top That, a local
yogurt shop here in Durango, Ryan Bar-
tholomew, shouting slurs out of his truck
at a group of people who supported the
Black Lives Matter movement and were
celebrating Joe Biden’s victory. Subse-
quently, this video went viral, currently
sitting at around 7000 views and 200
shares. The popularity of this video is
indicative of just how much Top That’s
actions have affected the community of
Durango, Colorado.
The controversy revolving around Top
That began when a post reading “10%
off for saying Happy Columbus Day,
and as always 10% off for not wearing
a mask!” was posted onto their Face-
book page. This agitated many people
in Durango, but especially the local
Indigenouscommunity which recently
reclaimed the controversial holiday on
October 11th from Columbus day to In-
degenous People’s Day. Shortly after this
was posted, an Indigenous People’s Day
march began, which started at Buckley
Park, went down to Coldstone, and then
came back up across main avenue. As
the marchers went past Top That, the
owner and customers (all without masks)
stood in front of the business, chanting
“USA’’ and flipping off the crowd, wav-
ing Trump 2020 signs below Thin Blue
Line flags. This is just one of the many
events where Top That unknowingly
sparked conflict with the younger pop-
ulation of Durango. A video of that day
was part of many installments that an
Instagram account with the username of
@endtopthat2020 posted. The Instagram
account has been bringing awareness to
the situation and has reached many of

the teenagers that populate our town.
After this video and others like it came
to light, an unexpected uproar from the
young adults in our community who
have actively been protesting Top That
materialized; some standing with a sign
to protest in front of their store, some
playing music that goes against the
political beliefs of the owner. However
most are posting on social media such
as Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat
about how the company displays what
protesters consider “blatant racism”.
This includes comments on multiple
posts such as, “Embarrassing”, “Some-
one should egg them”, “Top That
disgusts me”, and “How’s this guy not
ran out of Durango yet?”, but very few
people who have talked about this are
black, Indigenous, or people of color
(BIPOC.) With 87% of Durango’s pop-
ulation being white, it was a proud mo-
ment to see so many citizens standing up
against the yogurt shop. “Their racism
hasn’t affected me, but the fact they’re
offering 10% for not wearing masks has
obviously affected me and Durango”
says a black nurse from Namibia, “When
they came up with this, the number of
positive cases in Durango has gone up.
I think it has an effect on all of us, not
just me as a black woman.” I also spoke
with this woman’s younger daughter
who said, “They’re basically saying my
life doesn’t matter, and that’s not OK,
especially to be so vocal and disregard
what it’s actually about,” I wanted to
hear from the Native community as well,
so I also asked a high schooler from the
Navajo nation regarding his thoughts on
the situation. “When I hear the name of
the business [Top That], all I think is it’s
just negative and unwelcoming. They’re the protesting cease, but those who are

said to me in reference
to this worry, “All the

protesters], I’m too afraid
to stand up to that guy.”
The two younger partic-
ipants seemed to have
very similar thoughts;
The Indigenous boy
stated, “To me, if they

To those who continue to fly within cages,
To those whose hands painted red enlighten our minds
And cover our mouths.

This year, as the Black Lives Matter
movement grew bigger than ever, our
own town took part, holding protests
and creating a memorial-like display in
Buckley Park with signs, banners, and art
focused on BLM. I photographed pieces
from this memorial because the artists de-
serve recognition for being brave enough
to speak out, spreading the message that
racism is not acceptable; people shouldn’t
think that they are higher than other people because of the pigment of their skin. We
are all equal, we are all human.
I want my photos to be able to highlight the messages that the people in my commu-
nity are standing for; their voices need to be heard and seen. The dark background
for each picture represents that it is the words that should immediately pull your
focus. Dark colors can also contrast and make the world pop, grabbing your attention
right from the beginning. My goal is for my photography to bring awareness to the
Black Lives Matter movement so that we can acknowledge our wrongdoings and
together put an end to racial injustices.

my teachers have exposed my classmates
and I to various examples of racial and
social injustice throughout US history.
However, it is interesting to me how
often we study examples of far places
and people while ignoring the examples
closest to home. For example, my Hu-
manities class recently learned about the
1619 project and how Bryan Stevenson
was freeing innocent men of color from
death row sentences. While the subject
matter of events and people like the 1619
project and Bryan Stevenson have their
place in our education, what I find truly
interesting is that we were studying acts
of injustice and people in need of equal
rights and liberty half way across the
country when we have a prime example
just one state over. The Navajo and Hopi
reservation take up 27,413 square miles
of Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah,
which would make you think their issues
would be well known, yet the lack of aid
and knowledge about their oppression
makes it quite clear that there needs to
be more focus on them.
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic,
the reservation has been at a clear disad-
vantage. The reservation has a popula-
tion of close to 184 thousand people, and
very few of their homes have running
water or electricity. Danielle Shirley,
a local Navajo, explained to me in a
recent interview that the serious lack of
running water on the Navajo reservation
puts a great amount of families at risk of
contracting COVID-19. She shared that,
while “the CDC recommended washing
our hands frequently...the families who
do not have the luxury of running water
Justice
As of November 15, there have been 589
confirmed covid deaths on the reserva-
tion. This has devastated the community
because as we have heard, the virus
specifically targets older citizens, and
elders are very important in Navajo cul-
ture. Navajo traditional tell their history
orally and it is almost taboo to write it
down; the elders are the story tellers and
the people that pass down the history
and knowledge of their culture. With
the sudden surge in cases a large part of
there history could be lost. The worry
of Coronavirus is higher, and more case
deaths are unfortunately expected in
these areas.
As residents of Durango, Colorado we
have the opportunity, and in a sense have
a duty to help our grieving neighbors
during these challenging times. After
inquiring about ways to help, I was sent
to multiple websites that you can donate
to in order to help people impacted more
by COVID than yourself. So please,
donate, and we can help everyone get

‘What If We Win’

The reason we’re exhausted, the reason our fingers ache from repetitive motion
and our minds hurt from the anger also fueling us.

The reason why we are stood out in the rain, watching our signs and resolve fold
slightly in the wind.

The reason why I choose to believe that hopefully it can change,

that one day it might change,
that to-day it will change

The return of a hopeful investment is never promising, as we’ve seen, almost

always disappointing, almost always a mountain, and an insurmountable obstacle
to climb.

We’re a human ladder, equally holding ourselves together and asking for help,
straining under the weight of the knowledge that this might have little effect.

But we are all here for the same reason, our love and jokes, supporting the weight

I wrote this poem after interning with Lorena Garcia, a bad-ass Latinx lesbian

my bathroom for a good 30 minutes, stood myself back up, and got to writing. The
thing that was so disappointing to me was that I truly believed she was going to get
elected, that Colorado would have its first female senator of color. I believed change

that true representation was coming, and with her in office, progressive policies in
Colorado would have been inevitable. I revisited this poem after attending the first by Ainsley Haggart

that occured on the third of November this year. Donald Trump aligned himself with
racism from the very beginning of his career, long before his presidential run was
even an idea. In 1973, Trump was sued by the Federal Department of Justice for
allegedly not renting apartments to black Americans. In 1989, he publicly called for
the execution of the Central Park Five, a group of five innocent black American and
Latino teenagers falsely accused of the aggrivated assault and rape of a white woman
in New York City. In 2011, Trump repeatedly claimed the United States’ first black
president, Barack Obama, was not born in the United States, even after the White
House released Obama’s long form birth certificate. In 2015, Donald Trump began
his presidential run by stating, in reference to Mexico, “They’re sending people that
have a lot of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bring-
ing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good
people.” In 2016, he stated in and interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper “I think
Islam hates us.” After his election to the presidency, his racism did not slow or cease.
In 2020, peaceful protesters fighting for equality were brutally suppressed as milita-
rized police fired tear gas into the crowd. The justification? Trump wanted a photo
op with a bible at St. John’s Church, and protestors happened to be in his route. In
contrast, Democratic candidate Joseph R. Biden supported Black Lives Matter and
called for police reform, including a national use of force standard. However, his
record is far from spotless either.

Despite his support for the Black Lives Matter movement, Biden has more than a
few skeletons in his closet. His backing of the 1994 Violent Crime Control and Law
Enforcement Act, which helped to usher in the era of mass incarceration is a glaring
