Sunho's Response
b.) The images from the website surprised me in that they showed a a certain sense of unity between blacks and whites, the images showed that communication and unity was possible between to seemingly opposite and uncooperative races. The images also surprised me in its portrayal of the ease and happiness mingled with sorrow and atrocities that occurred during the time period of the book's original publication.
Kelly Dong's Response
a.) From the images on this website, we can see certain characteristics of the lives of these characters such as their socioeconomic status based on their surroundings or clothes. Furthermore, it becomes apparent that relations between blacks and whites at were not so cut and dry at the time as it might seem today.
b.) The numerous amount of pictures in which black and white people were interacting in a normal manner were surprising, due to the fact they are usually seen as opposing races during this time period, with blacks fighting for freedom while most whites oppress them. However, from these pictures we can see that many of them actually had good relations with one another which is usually not apparent to students of history.
