They're not informed or intelligent enough understand that African Americans, just like any other race, are just as intellectual, capable, and physically stable as they are. Personally, I feel sorry for the protestors because in my opinion the only reason they are angry is because they are fearful that if they let African Americans or other races in, that they will become too powerful and overtake them. I have no personal connection to this photograph, but a very strong emotional connection. I feel as though these people are the people that set us as the human race back in life. In contrast to this photograph, Dr. Kenneth's elicit test just as easily proves the negative effects of segregation.
This photograph presents a sociologist professor named Kenneth Bancroft Clark. He developed a test that proved how demeaning and destructive segregation in the U.S. was to children and young adults. Dr. Kenneth Clark devised a "doll test." He tested black children between the ages of three and seven years old. The children were shows 4 dolls, 2 were white dolls and 2 were black. And they were asked a series of questions, such as, what the race of the doll was. Then Dr. Kenneth went further into asking which doll in their opinion was believed to be "prettier," or "better". The black children showed that they believed the white dolls were better and prettier, and they rejected the black dolls. This test proved that racial discrimination was taught to children at an early age. Children don't know better. This was excellent evidence that lead towards the courts approval to end segregation, as it emotionally and mentally stunts the development of children. This photograph doesn't have much visual intake. The horizontal and vertical lines on the wall create a brick abstract to the photograph. The black and white color of the photograph sets a serious atmosphere. It makes the audience focus on the people in the picture.
