Jim Crow Era Sentiment Still Strong in Ohio

Something tells me these two sitting on the bridge are not an indication that a black family with a couple of patriotic sons live there ... I saw this while driving on state route 314, 4 miles south of Galion, Ohio this afternoon. I turned around in the first driveway i could, and went back to take this shot out of my car door window. It literally gave me a chill, to see this kind of thing in broad daylight, in 2020. Oh, isn't it cute that there is a nice little statue of an angel just to the right of the bridge as well? Just wow....
beautiful patriotic representation

@romainz Sorry, I have to disagree wut you on this one. Your perspective and experience in Belgium may be better. Google Jim Crow Laws for reference. Peace.

@ggshearron , hm, I didn't really see a political point of view in this photo. But I do understand that it is a sensitive point for Americans ...

@romainz I actually think it is great you saw now political pint of view. I also appreciate the chance to “discuss” with you. While we primarily look for artist inspiration here, it can’t hurt to learn more about each other’s experience(s). I appreciate you for that!

Oh wow - is this to do with segregation laws?

I am so lucky to live and have grown up in Zambia. Everyone genuinely lives alongside it each other in peace and with respect. It doesn't matter where you are from or what colour you are, you are loved here. It is quite a unique country in that way.
