Disciples in Dialogue: Efficacy of Didactic and Ambiguous Anti-Racist Signage Outside Kirkwood Churches in St. Louis, MO
Digitally rendered signage, posted on Twitter by Little River UCC (@LRUCC, June 18, 2020) commemorates Juneteenth (June 19th) celebrations across the country with a digital banner reading, “BLACK LIVES MATTER,” in a white text, and “to GOD and to us,” in yellow text underneath. The sign is both celebratory, in-context, and socially relevant to the 2020 resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement, taking advantage of their digital platforms to raise awareness. The addition of a theological argument to the slogan encourages viewers to question their spiritual connection to the movement. Although the digital formatting lacks personality, reminiscent of clean, corporate graphics, the speech act now occupies digital space to facilitate circulation.
