$1 Blue Band Working Against Racism The Lansing State Journal reports that in an effort to combat an upswing in racist graffiti at Holt Senior High, the school's International Club started a "Take a Stand, Buy a Band" campaign. The blue rubber bands are engraved with "Racism = Ignorance" and the club has sold 500. The school has about 1,400 10th, 11th & 12th-graders, and roughly 13% are black, Latino or Asian. Sophomore Brittanie Beebe said the bracelet "is showing to all the people who are racist that a lot of people aren't. Maybe it'll change some minds out there."
