A "multicultural creative career fair" aimed at encouraging the hiring of African Americans featured a panel at their event that had no black people in it.
The fair, called "Here are all the black people," is a one-day event that "provides multicultural students, recent graduates, and creative professionals who are interested in exploring careers in advertising and design the opportunity to showcase their talent to top agencies in the industry."
A panel during the fair, however, featured precisely no black people, leading to this ironic photo:
Another angle of the panel was re-tweeted by The One's twitter account:
"Here are all the black people" was put together by the One Club, a non-profit that states they are "the world's foremost non-profit organization for the recognition and promotion of excellence in advertising."
According to the One Club, they present "Here Are All The Black People" "as a forum for the next generation of diverse creative professionals to showcase their creativity. These students, recent graduates, and transitioning professionals, travel in force to this event demonstrating their desire to gain entry into our industry. Courageously, they present fresh ideas to the best agencies and creative leaders in the industry."
