Photographing the Beginning of the Civil Rights Movement

I feel like both Frank and Count’s photographs were equally powerful and both showed the hardships of American society in the Fifties. Count and Frank’s work both captured REAL moments. Frank captured the true, sad and empty emotions all Americans were feeling during the fifties. Many didn’t like his work because they thought they were too “depressing”. The people living the American dream were supposed to be happy and loving life, but his photos showed the opposite.  While Frank’s controversial photo captured a real life racist moment. You can feel all the emotion Hazel Bryan felt while she was screaming at Elizabeth Eckford, “One was trying to go to school; the other one didn’t want her there” through his photograph. Both photographers did a great job at capturing historic moments whether people think of it as art or not.
