What was happening at the time in history this photo was taken?
During the time of the civil rights movement, when African Americans struggled against discrimination from the government and law enforcement, this photograph was taken. The 1967 Texas Southern University Riots, which were sparked by a police raid on the mostly black institution, were a reflection of this anxiety and took place in 1967. The riots brought to light the systemic racism and racial tensions that exist in the United States.
Why was it taken?
List evidence from the photo or your knowledge about the photographer that led you to your conclusion.
Both the photo and the text indicate that it was taken with the intention of capturing the riots at Texas Southern University in 1967 and drawing attention to the institutional racism and police brutality that was the root cause of the student-police clashes. This viewpoint is reinforced by the presence of armed police and wrecked houses in the accompanying photograph, as well as by the author's logic and the historical context.
Use it as historical evidence.
What did you find out from this photo that you might not learn anywhere else?
This short video provides an explanation of the riots that occurred at Texas Southern University in 1967, a significant civil rights event that is seldom discussed in history schools. It sheds light on the institutional racism and police brutality that existed in the United States throughout the time period as well as the role of historically black universities as centers of education and activism. It's possible that these kinds of ideas aren't covered in traditional media or schooling.
What other documents, photos, or historical evidence will you use to help you understand this event or topic?
Transcripts from police investigations, judicial proceedings, and other activities linked to the riot.
