It's the Logical Thing To Do

In this image, Schapiro uses the simplicity of people holding hands to prove his point that its really that easy to just get along. In the image there are seven people captured. Out of the seven four are men, three of which are African American and three are women, two of them being caucasian. The diversity that is in this picture shows different sexes and races getting along by simply holding hands and raising their voices for a common cause. This image shows that it's the logical solution for people to come together. In an image it's hard to pick out the facts and statistics, but the ratio of men to women and African American to caucasian people is used to demonstrate that a variety of people are willing to put their skin color aside and fight for racial equality.

  1. I agree and believe that they are also showing that peace is logical over war. Most people associate peace with positive and by showing a peaceful race relation the average person would be inclined to think it was a good thing

  2. I agree that the diversity in this photo emphasizes the logical idea of coming together for peace. The various types of people even give the idea from the opposite perspective; that it is illogical to even think segregation should be acceptable. -Kristen
