Other Important Ideas
"There is the appearance of a lot of labor that is necessitated by the kind of work people are doing. It also seems to express a certain idea that children are vulnerable to changes in their points of view. There is the appearance that they are a lot more comfortable with their African American counterparts as compared to the adults, who seem to have adopted a more anti-integration type of stance." -Udi Lal
Surprising topics of the Images
"I think the most surprising factor in these images is that the children are so comfortable with a kind of people who have been discriminated for years. Despite the fact that African Americans had been oppressed and neglected for decades, these children are still comfortable with them. There seemed to be a certain intimacy between Uncle Tom and the little girl in the Tobacco advertisement." -Udi Lal
