  1. I think it is unfiar how people treated dark people and I think we still could treat them a little better. I think the mood in this photo is sad because Ionly see one kid smiling and it is more like a grin. I think the purpose of this picture was to tell people how mean we were to black people. I also think that the situation is kind of like the book Esperanze Rising because they did not treat her very well either.

  2. The mood of the photo was sad and intence. I think the photo was taken to show some people how to treat African Americans the way you'd want to be treated. I think the photo was very effective,becase it taught us to be nice to people that look different from ourselves.

  3. The mood is scared and nervous. It was taken to show how americans treated african americans. I think the purpose was to try to get americans to see how to treat them and that they were equal to white people. I think it was effective because it makes you feel sad and not want to treat people poorly.

  7. I think the mood in this picture is sad and gloomy. I think the photo was taken because it will show people in the future how people who were colored were treated differently and worse then to day. It might have been effective because it probably helped people like Martin Luther King Jr. give speeches.

  8. It feels very sad to me. Because white people, are shouting at the black people in the picture. Then if I was in that picture I would have been so sad to be in that position as the black people.

  11. the mood was nervous and upset. i think the photo was taken to show that black people were not treated fairly. i think it was effective because it shows that the children were unhappy and not secure in this world; nobody should be treated like this.
