1. Who are the people in the photograph?
 Picture 1: four women in a kitchen cooking for what I assume is an important occasion.
 Picture 2: Hitler greeting a little boy (German I think) and two women in the background smiling
at them
 Picture 3: White police officers with their dogs and African Americans.

 Picture 6: immigrants in Ellis Island and police officers
What is the situation of the people in the photograph? Provide evidence from the photo
that tells you this.
 Picture 1: I assume that this picture date around 1950s because of the use of electric mixer. I
research that mixer and when people used to connect mixer and I found that around 1950 that
type of mixer was popular. Also around that time was acceptable but not usual for women
wearing pants. This picture shows three women cocking and other (the women in pants)
inspecting what they are doing. In my opinion I don’t think this is the kitchen of a normal house
it look like a vacation cabin for me so this picture it might be of women cooking for the clients.
 Picture 2: Hitler is greeting a very little German boy (because the traditional clothes he is
wearing) probably under the age of five because his height.
 Picture 3: A black man is being attacked by police dogs in front of a group of black protestants
in what I think is the civil right movement
 Picture 4: this picture shows the statue of liberty (a statute that represent everywhere freedom
and justice) but this picture also show someone hang from it.
 Picture 5: this picture represent a wave of immigrants that came to united states from Europe
 Picture 6: a group of immigrants in Ellis island being examined before they were put in
guaranty before they could enter in U.S
What message do you think the photographer was trying to convey?
 Picture 1: I think the photographer tried to capture how women prepare food for an important
occasion
 Picture 2: This picture was propaganda for Hitler´s campaign.
 Picture 3: I think the photographer capture the harsh life of an African amerce during the civil
right movements and how suffered when they tried to protest for their rights
 Picture 4: In my opinion I think this picture tries to show that America is not a free country
especially for minorities. I think the person In the picture is African American and the picture
represent that freedom is not available for minorities
 Picture 5:in my opinion I think that the photographer tried to show the reality about immigration.
They came to united states without luggage or position just trying to build a better future
 Picture 6: This show how many ancestors of immigrants family had to enter in the country
Why is this photograph important to history?

2.  Picture 1: I don’t think this picture capture something important to history but it might give
people an idea of how old kitchens were.
 Picture 2: because this might be one of the pictures where people used to seem him as a nice
person because he is showing his “nice” side by greeting a little kid.
 Picture 3: Civil right movement is an important mark in American and world history
 Picture 4: I believe that this picture show the dark history about segregation and race
controversy in America.
 Picture 5: the picture show how immigrants came to united states trying to find and built their
American dream
 Picture 6: This people represent many of the first immigrants in U.S. they faced harsh
moments before they could enter in USA
What questions does this photograph raise?
 Picture 1: Are they cocking for clients or for family?
 Picture 2: does this photo made the public believe that he was a good person?
 Picture 4: Does America represent freedom?
 Picture 5: what part of Europe are they from?
 Picture 6: why immigrants had to be treated as sick people?
