How We Break Free: Confronting Hard Truths.” To the left, text says: “10:00–11:30 AM, Becoming American: Eman Quotah, Nadia Hashimi, Mariam Thakkur, and Delegate Joseline A. Peña-Melnyk, with curator Saima Sitwat. Visit CityLit.org for more details.” To the right of that text, is the headshot of each woman listed in a circle. The background is black, except for the top-right quarter which is teal-tinted green. In that quadrant, there is a broken metal chain. Butterflies fly through where the chain has broken.
