Passive Resistance of Segregation
July 7th, 2020
Select an image related to passive resistance of segregation during the Civil Rights Movement from 1943-1960, and submit a 250-word essay reflecting on the following:
1. the historical context of the image,
2. where the image originally appeared,
3. the intended audience,
4. a rationale for how that audience may have perceived the image,
5. how we may perceive that image today (If there is a difference between #4 and #5, suggest an explanation for
that difference. If there is no difference, suggest an explanation for the sameness.), and
6. how images can delineate the different approaches to desegregation and how media impacted passive
resistance.
