Analysis:
This song tells the history of Africans Americans and the struggles they have been through. For example, slavery and not having natural rights. Being a white male singing this song it spreads information to a new audience. This song also builds support for this movement because people will sympathize with Beau John.
Say to them, say to the down-keepers,the sun-slappers,the self-soilers,the harmony-hushers,"even if you are not ready for day it cannot always be night."You will be right.For that is the hard home-run.Live not for battles won.Live not for the-end-of-the-song.Live in the along.
Analysis: These two pictures are very similar in the fact that they both show African Americans struggle with obstacles in everyday life. In the picture on the top the men have been working and seem to be very tired. In the bottom picture a young girl is walking with people from the U.S. Army because she attending a school that is predominately white. Also, in this picture you can see where someone has thrown a tomato at the five people. This action shows peoples disapproval of this African American child getting an education. In the top picture the men are wearing what looks like outfits prisoners would wear. I think this is saying that they can't live like real people but must be treated like prisoners. I think they are different because the bottom one is showing change, on the other hand the top on continues to show African Americans being oppressed.
