10672: Delayed WTF 54—TRG 2.0 2023.

 

MultiCultClassics is often occupied with real work. As a result, a handful of events occur without the expected blog commentary. This limited series—Delayed WTF—seeks to make belated amends for the absence of malice.

 

A recent social media post from TRG celebrated the White advertising agency winning an AAF District 10 2023 Mosaic Award. What’s more, the honor saluted Workforce Inclusion.

 

Wow, it looks like the erasure of Stan Richards continues. The place has even moved into a different office space and embraced a fresh kumbaya spirit. And now there’s a shiny new trophy for the awards case. Forget that the workforce inclusion was fueled by the founder’s forceful exclusion.

 

A “stan richards” Google search identifies the old man as an author, so the information technology platform is purging and revising his history too.

 

BTW, would Richards think a Mosaic Award was too Black?

 

To keep things in perspective, simply review the “competition” in AAF District 10. Lots of honors went to GSD&M—those wonderful folks who gave you Annie the Chicken Queen. Nuff said. Other victors included Texas Christian University and Southern Methodist University, institutions that probably edged out the Stan Richards School of Advertising & Public Relations. Better luck next year.
