I learned that accessibility is something we can continually improve upon with our digital projects and website. I ran NPR’s main website through the checker and found 57 errors, missing alt-text labels, and more.

Right now, it’s white with my background of snow mountains. It blends a little bit when you scroll down. Yes, Harvard mentions color and the contrast it has with the background.
