Three different images of people of different heights watching a baseball game over a fence. 3 equal sized boxes represent equality but the smallest person can't see over the fence. For equity the tallest person has no box, the middle person has one box and the smallest has two boxes to stand on. Everyone can see over the fence. Liberation is represented by no fences and no boxes.
