Recognition: The active acknowledgment, representation, and validation of an identity, history, or contribution. It asserts that a group or individual exists, belongs, and has a right to be accounted for in the broader cultural or historical narrative.
Erasure: The systematic removal or suppression of a group’s or individual’s presence. This doesn't always involve active destruction or censorship; it frequently happens through subtle omissions, misattribution (crediting a dominant figure for a marginalized person's work), or structural exclusion
