Though times have improved since men were crucified, this image signifies the struggle African Americans possess in this nation we say is an "equal" country. The significance of this photo is that it displays how whites are not only superior in the past, but continue to reign over the average African American. In the past, whites could limit blacks to work in the fields, but now today they still rule over the work place and many other areas in life. Though many may be ignorant or simple want to ignore the fact, but there are still prejudices in the United States. Don't try to fool yourself, when you see two possible convicts, one white and one black, being tried for a murder, the first one you usually put the blame on is the African American. It is not your fault, society has created a world where "equality" is not truly "equality."
