Homework #4: Robert Frank’s America

Robert Frank was a Jewish man who wanted to look at America as a whole country. He wanted to capture the different issues and such that were not known by others outside of the country, but well known to those within it. Such issues were racial or even political. Robert Frank had taken photos that had shown racial segregation, from showing blacks on the back of the bus while whites were at the front, or even a black woman holding a white infant. His photos were both artistic and political, touching on the issue of segregation subtly in the form of clean, black and white photographs he had taken.
