This Pulitzer Prize winning photograph taken by Stanley Foreman is a prime example of earlier times in history in our United States of America. The white male attempting to stab the african american in this photo shows extreme hate as well as well as demonstrating or representing the USA by puncturing him with the american flag. The American flag stands for so much more than just a peice of cloth with an explanation for the colors. The flag symbolizes freedom and an entire kind of respect especially for our nations soldiers and men of uniform the flag shows what they stand for fight for and give their life for. This picture almost shows disrespect to the people who hold the flag with the high standard of respect of which they do. Rather than sincere disrepect displayed in this picture it is a prime example of what our country has overcome in the form of slavery.
