Romare Bearden's The Family


This collage by Romare Bearden, called The Family, embodies what the Civil Rights Movement was about. During the Civil Rights Movement family was played a significant role. In this picture it looks like the family may work on a farm as sharecroppers. They seem to look defeated, like they have given up hope. I don't think they have a lot of money seeing as someone is bathing right next to the dinner table and there is not a lot of food on the table.
