LaToya Ruby Frazier : A visual history of inequality in industrial America

                          
TED 2015
LaToya Ruby Frazier : A visual history of inequality in industrial America (transcript)
Summary
I think that there are many stories about inequality in the TED talks and the speakers who tell us that are almost black people.
The speaker is a black woman. Her work is to tell many people hidden histories by taking pictures and holding exhibitions. Hidden histories mean the cities which predominantly black people live in, where mass media has omitted the fact, and where they have been hidden, silenced and erased. Black people worked hard in bad risky environments.
The hidden histories are carved into their bodies and landscapes.
When the speaker sets a place, they appear.  This is her way to tell us about the inequality of history.  
Words in this story  
predominantly / mainly; for the most part.
leave out or exclude (someone or something), either intentionally or forgetfully.
carve / cut (a hard material) in order to produce an aesthetically pleasing object or design.
