Photo 2: ...It was against the rule
Source: http://hti.osu.edu/opper/lesson-plans/the-civil-rights-movement/images/it-was-against-the-rule
Analysis: As shown in the image “…It was against the rule” by L. D. Warren, the hand is throwing out a black sheep from the school. In this image, we can see that the Supreme Court has made a decision (the hand) to remove segregation (the black sheep) from the Public School. Warren has cleverly expressed that the Supreme Court did not want segregation by showing that they are “throwing out” segregation and he puts a particular black sheep there to show that African-American people were treated unfairly until the Supreme Court made a decision to remove segregation.
This cartoon was published on the Cincinnati Enquirer on May 21, 1954. Its purpose was to promote the African-American Civil Rights Movement as racial segregation was at large in the South. The African-American people faced inequalities in education, healthcare, and were often misjudged in crimes. African-American people faced poverty, high unemployment, and broken families. They were also threatened and intimidated by the KKK (Ku Klux Klan).

Analysis: This source is a photo that was taken in May 13, 1963 where it shows the demanding racial segregation in America which is represented by having the 'police department' part of the racism act. It shows us that the moral of the society back in 1963 was very unlawful and black people had very few or no rights. This can be interpreted by a modern day historian when they view this source as there is options available for the African Americans.
This is source is reliable as it was created in the same year where racial segregation in America was at it's strongest and when it was just prior to Martin Luther King's speech.
