Black Student Leaders express activism through art
Unmute Equality. It s a never ending battle, President Brianna Washington said.
The painting, which will go on display first at Larson s General Store, features a Black woman with phrases the group chants at protests inscribed in her hair. Washington hopes the painting facilitates reflections on racism. Why do I feel like this isn t a problem? Why do I feel like this is happening everywhere else except for here? Why am I not ready to take that next step for change and for equality? Washington said. Every time there is a powerful Black woman standing up for what she believes in we are always shut down right away. We re always known as the angry Black girl, but that s not us. We are proud and we are passionate about what we re fighting for.

People can stop by one of the eight bike stations, located around the Downtown La Crosse area.
After years in the making, this bright idea is finally a reality.
“We have had our mind set on moving the needle on bicycle infrastructure in this community and this is just one more way the community is working together to do that. We need to have more people biking, we need to have more people feel safe, and most importantly have fun while doing it,” said Jacob Sciammas, La Crosse Community Bike Share Chair.
