Bruce Davidson shows a protest in New York City during the Civil Rights Movement. This photo shows how an African American woman was arrested when she wanted to eat in a restaurant that was segregated. She is protesting with her sign that if Khrushchev, a Soviet Union politician, can eat in that restaurant, then why can’t she? This sign is interesting because if the restaurant would serve food to someone from Soviet Union, especially during the cold war, why wouldn’t it also serve an African American woman? Davidson is showing his protest for the end of segregation and equality for all, especially in a city full of freedom of expression.

Bruce Davidson shows the struggle of African Americans during the Civil Rights Movement by showcasing how hard it was to take care of children in such a small apartment in Harlem, New York City. The mother’s eyes seem so weary, as if she’s been through a lot of trouble making ends meet. The apartment looks a little messy, but she still tries to make the best out of it. One thing that Davidson shows in this picture is how similar African American mothers are to any other mother in America: tired and fatigued, yet still alive and moving.
