1. Sumner High School
Sumner High School, one of
the many past segregated
African American only
schools in 1940 is pictured in
the photo. The dormant trees
bordering the sidewalk give
the impression of a grim and
bleak future . Not even the
very students of the school
are seen . It is emptiness .

2. Two Water Fountains
Two water fountains.
One for whites one for
blacks. The white
water fountain is seen
upright on a stand;
the black one is
simply posted on a
wall. Segregated
things for colored
people were usually
of lesser quality than
for whites.

3. A group of blacks
A picture first appearing
to be only a bus of white
people. A closer look
reveals a group of blacks
in the back. Only a
group of blacks in the
back… Blacks were
forced to give up their
seats for white
passengers, and sit at the
back of public buses on a
regular basis; not doing
so resulted in serious
consequences.

4. Whites only
A strong sense of
discrimination is given by
reading the whites only
sign. The colored sign on
the other hand does not
send such a discriminatory
message. It does not stress
the word ‘only’ as does the
whites only sign does.

5. Hotel Clark
Hotel Clark, The best service for
Colored Only. The photo sends
a sense of discrimination just as
the previous photo, but; in this
case it is colored who use the
word ONLY. They do just as
bad as the whites.

6. A Colored Entrance
A colored entrance to a movie
theatre appearing to be at the
back of a building. It appears to
be dark and has a quiet look
compared to what is imagined
of the front entrance. It was very
common for blacks to have to
use separate entrances during
the first six decades of the 1900’s.

7. Ratford’s Cafe
Ratfords café, a
segregated restaurant.
The white entrance
almost seems more
‚important‛ than that of
the colored entrance ,
and; it also seems to
show a white dominance
by having white higher
than colored. Segregated
restaurants and cafes
were very common in
the early and mid 1900’s
and usually catered more
to white customers.

8. A black man being sprayed
with a fire hose. A black man
being treated with cruelty for
protesting for his civil rights as
a human being. A black man
withstanding the pain of
pressured water to show that
he will not give up in his fight
for civil freedom.

9. A Black Girl
A black girl in newly desegregated classroom in 1954. A white girl across the
way. The expression of the white girl appears to be one of a snide remark. The
black girl says nothing and shows an expression of hurt.

10. March for Jobs and Freedom
A girl participating in the
March For Jobs and Freedom
during 1963. She wears a
frown as she stands near a
fence, a frown of emotional
hurt. Her eyes show distress
and a hint of lingering hope.

11. Speaking Out
Martin Luther King Jr.
speaking out for himself and
his fellow African American
people. His emotion is clearly
expressed by his clenched fist
and facial expression. He
fought for the civil rights of
African Americans and to
end racial segregation until
his assassination on April
4, 1968.

12. Hope
A white and black boy are seen
laughing together. Their faces
show joy and have no hate
toward one another. They
represent a positive , hopeful
future without hate or
discrimination. They are hope.
