Imagine a curtain, unassuming and delicate, yet laden with profound implications. This curtain, which divides the economy and first-class sections aboard a commercial airline flight, serves as a powerful metaphor for the divisions within our society; those saddled with all forms of inequalities and those immunized from it all. It reveals the enduring inequalities that persist and underscores the systemic burden that minorities in America continue to bear, casting light on the shortcomings we must confront. The path to the coveted boarding group remains elusive for many-a labyrinth of challenges, an unequal playing field. On one side of the metaphorical curtain, where the privileged reside-lies abundance: plentiful meals, respect, cozy blankets, and attentive care. The overhead compartments offer more room, accommodating larger and multiple pieces of carry-on luggage. Behind the curtain, the experience is different; often lacking overhead space for their hand luggage, these individuals face a different reality.
