What was happening at the time in history this photo was taken?
The civil rights movement pitted African Americans against government and police prejudice. The 1967 Texas Southern

Why was it taken?
List evidence from the photo or your knowledge about the photographer that led you to your conclusion.
The image and text suggest that it was taken to document the 1967 Texas Southern University riots and highlight institutional racism and police violence that sparked them. The photo's armed police and demolished buildings, the author's logic, and the history corroborate this perspective.
Use it as historical evidence.
