Webquest Part B


Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. July 1939.
Russell Lee, photographer.
"Man drinking at a water cooler in the street car terminal." [Sign: "Reserved for Colored."]



There is one black man. He looks not old. maybe 20~29. He is wearing black hat, white shirt and black pants. He is drinking water in front of the 'colored' water bottle. We can notice the background is toilet from the 'white men black men' and 'white women and black women' sign. I can't figure out what is he thinking but probably he feel not really good because of seperated water bottle. However he would have to agree this situation..

The picture's tone is a bit heavy and dark. And this photo is monochrome photograph. This picture gave me feel negative because photographer might be take this photo because he wants to show what happen to the discrimination.

Photographer. what did you think while you take this photo? And do you also hate black people as other people?
