Sikh Eyechart for America

Text in the shape of an eye chart. Text starts large at the top and gets smaller. The last line reads, "I am a sikh walking the path of compassion hoping to find the light in our hearts that binds us all" in tiny letters. The cartoon's caption reads, "You must have perfect eyesight to be able to read the last line."

This cartoon eye chart tests for perfect vision, which sees beyond stereotypes and bias and encourages a lens of compassion.
