Cut and paste Picture your group has chosen.

Picture taken by Dorothea Lange in Leland, Mississippi, in the delta are. June 1937 The picture shows a theatre specifically for African Americans while the Jim Crow laws were still enforced. The first thing that I saw was the size of the theatre. theatres nowadays are huge and flashy and i bet back then they were too. this theatre looks like it probably has one screen in it. it looks smaller than a regular retail store anywhere. it isn't flashy and doesn't have lights all over it. it looks as though the front has an aluminium wall. this building could have been a garage for something. The wall has been spray painted and posters were put up.
