Racial+Perseverance+reflection

I used this page to portray out country's racial progression over time. i started with a very pessimistic quote from De Tocqueville that embodied the racial tension of the nation as he saw it. I then moved onto a collage that portrayed the progress of the civil rights movement. the size of the photo matters for this collage, and I started at the top with a large picture of firemen spraying protesters in the streets of downtown Birmingham, and a much smaller picture to the right, of the victims of that same violence. I followed a similar pattern through out that college, as pictures of oppression were placed on the left and pictures that showcased revolution were placed on the right. I then progressed with the pictures and the pictures of revolution began to grow as time went by and as the Civil Rights Movement continued to Gain momentum. I ended the collage with a shot of Martin Luther King Jr. giving his "I Have a Dream" speech before those who marched on Washington with him. Then i concluded the page with a quote by Booker T. Washington and a sateric photo of Jewish, black, gay clansmen.
