Sikh cartoonist Vishavjit Singh has spent years combatting bigotry and intolerance with his alter-ego Sikh Captain America, walking the streets in full costume and engaging strangers in conversations around diversity. When Inauguration Day rolled around, Singh knew where he needed to be.
Dressed in his Captain America suit and matching blue turban, Singh stood at the gates to Trump’s inauguration on Jan. 21 holding a sign that read: “Black, Muslim, Trans, Latino, Asian, White...We all Make America Great.”
“My Captain America alter-ego is all about promoting a twitch in our perceptual reality to create a space where perhaps for a few moments we can look beyond our stereotypes,” Singh told The Huffington Post.
