I believe the old man river is metamorphic with pain and oppression. The southerners tell a lie every time, that they will eventually fix segregation. Nothing happens, and people still suffer.

Old man River represents the north, and the northern people keep promising that they will stop the segregation

Old man river is representative of the north, and broken promises. They said they would end segregation and that they would fix things. The north did not realize how it actually was for them, and were ignorant towards segregation and how it actually affected the people.

Old Man River represents the north. The song shows the North moving on, and is doing much better than the South. They think everything is right, and fixed again. Whilst in the South segregation and slavery are still huge problems.

I think it is racism and segregation that somehow continues. Some people are fine with it and some are not like the two sides of the civil war.

Old Man River represents the North. I think the song is showing that the North is carrying on, and not really caring anymore. They think everything is fixed after the civil war, but the former slaves are still struggling. They were still facing segregation and racism, but many people turned a blind eye.

I think it’s Jim Crow laws, segregation, racism because racism is afraid of dying out and becoming irrelevant, so it just keeps moving along, trying to not die out

It begins by describing how living as an African American is (verses 1-4). Then it changes, and they start talking about how they want it to be. They say he doesn’t plant taters or cotton. Which of course they didn’t then, but it represented what they felt like they do. He also says how he’s tired, scared, and doesn’t want to die. Which is how many of them felt at the time. He also mentioned how they “Gittin’ no rest till de Judgement Day.”  They then describe how Old man river suffers, but he keeps going. Just like how the African American community did back them.
