Image description: A still image from the 90’s TV sitcom Saved By The Bell. Jessie, Lisa, and Kelly are standing in front of a row of lockers. Jessie and Kelly are listening to Lisa who is speaking emphatically, her hands raised slightly (interpretation of scene my own).

Image description: A still image from the 90’s TV sitcom Saved By The Bell. Zack is in the locker room holding a microphone to his mouth. He is carrying recording equipment, and he is addressing a girl with a hand on her hip, a look of disbelief on her face (interpretation of scene my own). The caption reads, “White people benefit from the privileges accrued from racist exploitation, past and present, and are therefore accountable for changing and transforming white supremacy and racism.”
