This is a photo f 15 year old Elizabeth Eckford. It shows the extreme tension that was common for blacks especially in the South. The picture was taken during the desegregation of Little Rock High School. In the Fall of 1957 a group of black students were meant to meet and enter school premises but not only were they terrorized by the National Guard they also had to deal with a mob of racist protesters.  This was compounded in Elizabeth's case because she was not made aware of a change of meeting places for the black students. This meant she had to walk alone with all these racist factors. And because of these prejudices the black students were not even able to attend Little Rock that day and had to wait until American Troops were sent.

This piece represents the many struggles of Black Americans. One way it does this is by bringing attention to segregation by not allowing the black figure into the admission office, Another interpretation is as the barriers and blockades that Whites have put up for Blacks. It shows that how something as simple as turning a handle is what it takes to help the black figure- which represents the Black community. Finally it highlights that the White community needs to not only accept blacks socially but institutionally as well.

This photo, captured by Andy Warhol, shows the human right violations of many American forces of "justice". Generally it speaks to American police officers but specifically it focuses on the Birmingham Riot. It depicts police sicking their dogs onto black protesters as they try to escape. This is reinforced by the red, white, and blue filters over the work which ties the piece to the American and state governments. It also easily divides the forces of good and evil in the photo to support the Civil Rights movement.

This abstract painting was done by Sam Gilliam and unlike other vague abstracts this painting has a clear purpose. This is first introduced in the title Red April, which signifies the April 1968 assassination of Martin Luther King JR.. It also expresses the chaos of the riots that followed. This was a meaningful painting to Gilliam as he lived in Washington D.C. during these riots and lost one of the most important Civil Rights leaders in American History. Overall the painting conveys sadness and chaos in one package as the epitome of Gilliam's mental and emotional state.

In Jacob Lawrence's painting Soldiers and Students he addresses the violent nature of desegregation in schools. It depicts a group of black students being watched over by soldiers. Behind the main group is what appears to be a mob of racist protesters. The message of the painting is extremely reminiscent of Little Rock High school and is clearly inspired by this true event. It even portrays some of the hardships that Black Little Rock students had to face such as protesters. Also the soldiers in the painting are based off real soldiers who had to be called in to protect the group of black students.

Confrontation, painted by Hughie Lee-Smith, depicts a black and white woman staring at each other in a ruined house. The paintings highlights the wedges that form between people, especially racial ones. The painting is meant to show how even in the ruined house in an uncivilized area the black and white woman are still separated. It also shows that beyond the tattered ruins of the brick wall is a serene view. It shows the fallacy of racism as if the women came together they could enjoy the peaceful view together. Each woman symbolizes their respective races and the tattered wall is racial stigma.
