Democracy

Black-and-white photo. An African American man in a white shirt, suit and tie is seated at a table reading. Several white people stand over him as he does, mostly men, some in sunglasses, expressions ranging from hostile to indifferent. A file cabinet behind the reader to the left has a hand-written sign, “Freedom Registration File 2”; a sign taped to a lectern identifies the credentials committee.

‘The White Republic’: Response by Van Gosse

Van Gosse

The white republic has not been a monolith, historian Van Gosse suggests.

Foreground is a white horizontal banner with organizations’ logos, including UTLA (United Teachers of Los Angeles). In the middle of the frame, a woman holding the banner with one hand, her other fist in the air, defiant expression clear despite her mask. Behind her, a bit of the crowd, mostly Black and Latinx, several wearing orange T-shirts, the color of the inside of a winter squash.
