"Ways of the World"
Chapter Twenty-Two: The End of Empire
Documents
1914-Present
This images comes from Chapter Twenty Two and it is included in Strayers Visual Documents. This photo is Visual Source 22.1 on page 1130 for those who own the textbook. This photo to me represents the newfound freedom and independence in various ways that the ANC, at one point in time, could only dream of. As the description states this photo illustrates the ANC overcoming great odds and the chance to finally come together to form their own society without regulation and pressure from eurocentrism. Photos such as this one have also been used throughout history as propaganda. The images themselves strike emotion into the viwer and can go as far a mobilizing people in the right direction of change or reform.
I found this photo to be a really cool way of trying to appeal the eyes of bystanders into independence for the African nation.
