influences of Harper Lee- Images from 1930's Alabama.

• These images are taken from Alabama in the 1930's. 
• during this time it was the american depression where these was a huge lack on money and people became poor and starving.
• But there was still a very strong black and white divide, for example this image of the three boys. 
• Black people during this time where seen as a much lower social class , less intelligent to white people. So they refused to be educated with them. 
• On big factor that worries me about this image is the fact that the boys look young. Could the views of the society they live in of had an influence on them? 
• It looks like they are at a protest and they are holding the painted sign , so could this image have been taken to appear in a news paper? 
• As a black person being surrounded by all this hate aimed towards you how would you feel seeing this image? scared, anger, belittled, insulted, isolated. But given it was the 1930's Alabama images and people expressing the views could have been a common occurrence.   

• Example of Black and White segregation laws.

• Poorer outskirts of Alabama, made poorer by the depression.  

• Black workers.

• White family.

• This women looks like how I image the character Calpuria. This women looks like she could have a similar job as she is wearing a white pinny and hair is warped in a cloth. she looks like a maid.
