I would like for audiences to reflect on the trophy and what it symbolizes. Many in our country have pride and identity tied to our nationalism (American Exceptionalism) without realizing or acknowledging that the colonial and imperialist history that lead to our present standard of living. This pride comes from a sense of meritocracy, with the “western” world having established a standard for living that other countries aspire to attain. Many immigrants move here with hopes to start a better life and internalize pride to be U.S. citizens. We all take advantage of the luxuries that “developed countries” have to offer when given the opportunity to indulge them, though I want to interrogate the trophy to shine a light on its history and purpose, specifically for the Black and POC communities.  I would love to push for my audiences to question what has value and why it has been endowed with such power. As individuals, we have the free will to denote what is valuable, and I hope that this series inspires questions and fosters pride in their various indigenous histories.
