EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a significant moment in history - the school desegregation of 1965. In New York City, African American children are seen bravely making their way to school, determined to receive an education that had long been denied to them due to racial discrimination. As they walk past a group of white mothers protesting against busing as a means of desegregation, we witness the stark contrast between progress and resistance. The image is filled with symbolism and emotion. The young boy and girl represent hope for a brighter future, while the white umbrellas held by some of the protesting women symbolize attempts to shield themselves from change. This photograph serves as a reminder of the immense courage displayed by these children in their pursuit of equal rights and opportunities. Taken by photographer Dick DeMarsico on September 13th, 1965, this snapshot freezes time and immortalizes an important chapter in American history. It showcases both the resilience of African American students striving for integration and the opposition they faced during this tumultuous period. Granger Art on Demand presents this print as part of its collection dedicated to preserving historical moments that have shaped our society. Through images like these, we are encouraged to reflect upon our past struggles for equality while also recognizing how far we have come in creating a more inclusive society today.
