AMERICA IS...
NOT ACCEPTIVE
America Is Not Acceptive
Throughout the years in America The superior race has been Whites. America has not been acceptive towards many races throughout the 20s, 30s, 40s, 50, 60,s and up until now there still races that aren't quite accepted. From African Americans aka the "Negros" to Chinese railroad workers, to even Italian men who were executed for just being the race they are. Due to America not being acceptive, other races weren't given equal opportunities to fulfill their goals in life. Yet this so called country "America: is suppose to be the place you come to be free and be accepted but that not how America treated the other races. How can we justify the killings of all these races from jews to African American. There were so many of them killed throughout the time in America that it is dumbfound
Historical Events
Historical Ecent #1
The Sacco-Vanzetti case was another racial Acceptance that took place in America. Two Italian men accused of robbery and murder were sentenced to death with little to none evidence proving that they were the ones who committed the crime. Due to them being another race other than white, they were not given any chances to prove their name wrong.
Historical #2
By being the first African American to be in the Major Leauge Baseball he was not accepted at all. There were thousands of Americans that had so much hate in themselves that the Major Leauge alowed Jackie Robinson to play.
Historical event #3
The Chinese Exclusion act was the culmination of the sustained local and national effort to segregate and exclude the Chinese from the Main stream of the American Life.
Visual Representation
Thought Process
Throughout America many multiple races were treated way differently than American Whites. As i was putting together my thoughts about my project i decided to created a circle that had events or situation from 3 different races to symbolize how they were treated unequally. I used the ribbon behind the circle to represent that America did not accept these races which were, African Americans, Italians, and Chinese. From the chinese Migration act to slavery of African Americans, America did not want to allow these races to be just as equal as they were.
SYMBOLS
Center Picture
This picture symbolizes an African American man being hanged in noose knot way. During slavery time the White master would create these noose knots and hang the African Americans by a tree and watch them Suffer to death. I chose this picture to be in the center because it screams out the pain African Americans were put through. Yet America is suppose to be the "Land of the Free" but African Americans are being killed left and right by this noose knot hanging.
Main piece
I wanted to find something that represent America has a whole so i found this piece that was craved as the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. this symbolizes every single state that was not acceptive towards the three races that were talked about. There are more races that werent mentioned that werent treated as equally to the white Americans
X
The of X of the poster symbolize that America wasn't acceptive. I used red, white, and blue ribbon to represent the american flag. The flag stands for, White: signifies puriority and innocence, Red: hardiness and Valour and Blue: Vigilance, persverance and justice. How is the American flag suppose to stand for this but they wouldnt allow other races to abided by these simple rules.
