I picked this picture because of the overall message trying to be stated by these African Americans: Equality. If you look closer, you can actually see Martin Luther King Jr. amongst the crowd marching with African Americans men and women, along with white men. Standing for freedom in large numbers like this group was something that really got people's attention, as it should have. The signs are asking for equality in jobs, something that is even sadly still found in today's society. As great as an effort that these protestors, I'm still so upset to think that this can still happen today. Freedom is a born given value to any human being, and to have to protest like the picture is showing makes American at the time look like an awful place to be. People who still might only hire certain races need a wake up call with pictures like this; working in America is a right every citizen, no matter what race, should be granted. The struggle for equality at jobs has gone on long enough, and to still be going on is ridiculous.
