              <text>It is a perspective of how people think of America as whole. When it comes to the patriotic song "America The Beautiful," the Deaf Community have been signing it the way we were taught and believe that this is our home, a land of the free. But in "BlackDeaf" Community, we questioned it and sign "America" as it it was a land of the slavery. Two images, side by side, are people who has been divided (racial, status, cultural). Privileged one vs. The Oppressed One (the color of the thick curved stripes represent our flag in literal and political ways) . The Beau in the dictionary means Masculine or a female. In that sense, we could not completely say that it is Beautiful...even though it is.</text>
