Stuck In Segregation or Sinking in Segregation Today’s patterns of segregation are complex and take many forms within public policy, income, and racial discrimination. Ta-Nehisi Coates (The Atlantic), Patrick Sharkey (New York University), and Richard Rothstein (Economic Policy Institute) discuss these topics and more; Farai Chideya serves as moderator.
Freedom Summer This documentary captures the volatile months of the 1964 Freedom Summer through period footage and the firsthand testimonies of volunteers who spent time in Mississippi 50 years ago. Filmmaker Stanley Nelson and others participate in a talkback following the screening.

HSBC Signature – Sizing and Protected Area
5
The HSBC Signature must be clearly visible and reproduced consistently. For this reason a minimum size has been set at 30mm, measured from the edge of the letter ‘H’ to the tip of the last triangle. The signature does not have a maximum reproduction size.
100mm
Protected area
30mm
Resizing The original artwork files are created at 100mm in length. This allows for consistent resizing. It is important when the HSBC Signature is being resized it is done proportionately to ensure that the artwork is not stretched or distorted in any way. A way to check this is to ensure that the centre of the Hexagon remains a square.
In order to maximise its visual presence, the HSBC Signature should have a surrounding area clear of any other graphics or text elements – this is referred to as the protected area. The protected area is measured by the height of the hexagon and is indicated by the dotted border shown. The height of the hexagon is the minimum protected area and should be increased wherever possible.
Language variations
The HSBC Signature is available in Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese and Arabic. Bilingual versions are also available.
The rules for the protected area and minimum size are the same as the English version and must be applied. only use original artwork files as supplied by HSBC.
