What is a good title for a informational poster on the topic of desegregation?

Answer 1

• United we win
• We no longer have to sit at the back of the bus
• We are all human beings
• Separate is not always equal
• We're not all that different

If you want ideas for poster content or a cartoon, here is one. Draw two water fountains, one labeled Black (or "Colored" as was the term in the old days) and one labeled White. Maybe add a police officer to guard them, and draw a Martian or other space alien approaching the officer. Then the title or caption could be, "Where am I supposed to drink?"

Or you could play off of the separate not being equal theme and say, "Separate is Not Equal. Then you could then depict the Brown v. Topeka decision. You could draw two schools, or two classrooms. Draw them for different races, within one that is nice and one that is unsafe and falling apart. You could show technological differences, like a computer lab in one (they didn't have that then, but kids would relate) and students talking through tin cans on the other. Or show outside the place, with one having a vary well-kept grounds and building with a security guard and gates, and the other with the building collapsing, the weeds grown up, and maybe a pickup truck with a Confederate flag on it, with "rednecks" on the back of it, and maybe some with rifles.

Or, another outer space themed one could show maybe Purple People and Green People, maybe show them segregated or fighting and have the title, "This Doesn't Happen in Space." They could be saying things like, "We won't let our daughter marry a Green guy," and the maybe a Green person saying, "Them Purple people always hold us back!"

On not being that different, maybe you could divide a poster in to two halves. Show a group of people in each of a different hue, with both sides saying the same mildly racist things. The title can be, "We Are Not really All That Different."
