In chess, white goes first.
It gives that player a statistical advantage. A simple black-and-white metaphor for real world privilege.

So we convinced Anomaly to fund a board of our own. One where Black Goes First.
Where youth chess players could see Black get the advantage for once.

Then we got it signed by Jay-Z, RZA, Carmello Anthony, and the first ever Black chess Grandmaster Maurice Ashley.

We put it up for auction and donated all proceeds to Black youth chess.

Some stills of the board we made.

Auction site, chess board social page, and some press.
