How can that women feel and project so much hate for someone she doesn't even know? Pictures like this scare me. She just embodies everything that is ignorant makes me sad. And the girl in the white dress just keeps going. What a brave girl!!!
ReplyDeleteHow hurt this girl must feel. I can't imagine the thoughts that went through her mind as this lady yells immature and racist slurs at her. This subject is so hard for me to wrap my mind around, kind of like my thematic unit about the Holocaust. Just seems so unreal and what stamina these poor souls have to battle this head on. It sure looks like this girl is trying her best to react with the proper manner to this horific lady.
ReplyDeleteBullies. Will they ever go away?!
ReplyDeleteShock at the pure hatred billowing from the woman. You can feel it...
ReplyDeleteThis woman is or could be someone's mother and is someone's daughter. Hopes, dreams, love all have the same potential with her as with anyone...however for that woman, the hate of racism has occupied the space where openness and love should be. Where did this start for her? I don't believe its anyone's true nature to behave in such a way toward people as that women is shown in the picture. I think of the times when I react with that kind of strong, hateful angry emotion--usually occasions that rattle me to my core with disgust--that's the reaction produced by a black school girl for that woman. Makes you wonder what her truths are.
ReplyDeleteThis photo reminds me of the comments made in our last discussion. Could a mother really have done what those men did to Emmett Till? It seems to me that this is just as bad. Words have a way of hurting people like nothing else can.
ReplyDeleteImagining the fear and torment that must sit inside this young teenager as she bravely enters the "front lines" of her education...the white women, the hatred she portrays at the very idea of a teenager innocently walking to school...the men behind the white woman, laughing as if this is completely acceptable behavior...the bravery, the pride, and the unconditional need the Little Rock Nine had to make a difference in this country...
ReplyDeleteThey are followers, though some don't know it, and the evil one they have chosen to follow is given life in the face of the girl at center. The photographer found an artful way to convey truth by angling the camera to show the girl behind Melba as a shrinking figure. Evil sneers and scorns as its hate is spewed, but at its heart lies cowardice.
