I chose the 2 image because it's significance to history is a big one. Beside the fact that a highschool has been named after him. This man was the first African American to win a prestigious rhodes scholarship. He was very well known and took that to his advantage to promote other African Americans who were artists and writers. We should investigate this topic more often because he was a man who always helped out others when they were despised. He helped promote others so that the next generation and the next generation can see that you can also grow no matter how hard life is being.

What I know about Alain Leroy Locke is that he was a philosopher that published a lot of books that were supportive of the black community. He was also a supporter of the renaissance movement.This image is significant because it shows Locke publishing books and that was one of his major contributions. More people should investigate the topic because he's a very important person to history and contributed a lot to it. He was the first first African American to win a prestigious Rhodes Scholarship and studies philosophy in college. There's so many great things that he did and more people should look into it.

I chose the 4th image because people should know that racism has been going on for several several years. Up to this day things don't change and it probably will never change. People of color always got accused and beat by by whites and sometimes the whites would get drunk and do it for fun. But the people of color fought back and the whites got beat. But they people from the army came back from deployment and were walking the streets with batons beating any person of color they saw. until the people from the army banned themselves from going back because they knew it was going to be too much trouble. People of color would get beat for the smallest thingy like the kind of fabric they used for their clothes or for how their clothes looks. Whites thought that the fabric they used deserved to go to the men in the army. And so many people of color got arrested.

I chose the Zoot Suit Riots image and I know that sailors were violent to young people of color because they were wearing baggy suits that used too much fabric, that should of instead have been used by military. In the article it says,"Mob of U.S servicemen took to the streets and began attacking Latinos and stripping them of their suits." People should investigate more about this topic because not a lot of people know what happened when young people of color were just wearing their style of fashion and expressing themselves.

The third image is about "Zoot Suit Riots." This riot was started because a group was a target for something they didn't do but because of what they had on they was beaten. People investigated more about this because it effected many but mostly important the Mexican American people.

I chose the third image to talk about. This image is significant because it represents the main events of the Zoot Zoot Riots. This image shows how white service men would go down beating Black & Latino people for no reason. People should investigate more about this topic because the Zoot Zoot Riots were unfair and filled with violence and racial tensions.

I choose the image of the zoot suit riots. This image is significant because the riots were racially motivated and were most people tried to sweep it under the rug. The linked article states "Local papers framed the racial attacks as a vigilante response to an immigrant crime wave, and police generally restricted their arrests to the Latinos who fought back." This tells us that the police weren't trying to help people people of color, but were trying to silence them to not talk about the events that took place that day. We should investigate more about the zoot suit riots because this is an example of what happens if something as harmless as a style of clothes, could potentially lead to many lives to become endangered.

The 3rd image is about the zoot suit riots. I know that the navy and just military in general was going around Mexican and black neighborhoods drunk. As you can see in the picture it was all white men in the uniforms in which they represent this country.They would make lots of noise, beat people, r*pe women, and destroy business and houses. I think this is important because it was the military that was doing this to the people in a time of war when they are supposed to protect us. And it is sad that people cant and won't rely on police or military because they are traumatized.

I chose the image of the Federal Reserve note because of the details and hidden stories in it. This image is significant because we use it everyday and it travels everywhere by us passing it along . People should investigate it more because most people don't know the dollar bill is debt, also the stories behind the images in it like the eye pyramid. For example the eye in the pyramid is that of the first hero Horas who was the son of gods His father was killed by his uncle but his mother Isis revived him to make Horas who was to avenge his father and defeat set his uncle.

We also learned how there is spider webs on the bill, which can mean that money is a trap, this gives us reasons as to why so many people are in debt. Just by looking at the bill we were able to find out about many things regarding history, and that is why people should investigate more into this topic.

Picture 4(last pic)has a strong message. i know that misinformation plays a role in creating incorrect ideas. The message being given out in the image is what makes it so significant because despite their being few words, one is able to quickly interpret what it means.People should investigate more about the topic because it helps decrease the amount of people following those same footsteps.One example is the covid-19 er rupture. Despite their being a vaccine that boost immunity to this disease many misinformed people are against it and also paying the price .

The second image shows Alain LeRoy Locke. He was the first African American man to receive a Rhode scholarship, which is considered to be the most prestigious award. That's one of the reasons that our school was named after him. He helped influence many people with his achievement and that's why I think more research should be done on him. He was someone who defied many of the norms back then, showing everyone what he was capable of.

I choose the first image which is the dollar bill, what I know about is that there's many details on this dollar that make sense on why they put it on there. This image is significant because this dollar bill represents us, our society, our people, and represents the past and significant people. People should investigate more on this topic because there are other details on the dollar that may connect to our future or the past. The dollar bill has the first president it has an alike web on the corner of the dollar that can give us a sign that money is a trap for debt. But we need to analyze the dollar to connect the dots to other things.

In the first image, which is the dollar bill. The image is significant due to the fact that the dollar is used on a daily basis everyday. The dollar is a necessity for us human to survive or buy anything that we need. I would say more people should investigate this due to the particular reason there are many small symbols in our dollar bill; that has a big significance to us in the US. These symbols may be small but in reality mean so much more than we in reality think. Evidence is the the letter L symbol in the dollar bill it means where the dollar came from like the US national bank in San Francisco, in this case which many may not know of. All of these symbols add up to something big in the United States.

I choose the 3rd image which is the Zoot Suits Riots. What I know about this event is that young Mexican Americans were being brutally hit by white Americans because of how they dressed. This image is significance not only because it was a huge deal for young Mexican Americans but now knowing that race is not real but racialism is real, it all makes scene to why they did what they did. Young Mexican Americans were being put in a category of "gangs" since that was a huge style back in the 40s.

The zoot suit riots were riots that happened due to white people oppressing Latino people mostly teens and young adults because they were accused of beating white men. People should investigate more about this topic because of the way the Latino people were treated on a meer accusation of white men about Latinos which could have been false to start with. They also stripped the Latino teens/men and burned their zoot suits because they were illegal and after all the stripping and beatings, Latinos were arrested to be protected from the white men instead of the white men/sailors.

An image I've chosen is the Zoot Suit riot act . Why I think more people should investigate into this topic and take time into learning about this because if you ook at it this way, people are still doing it til this day. The zoot suit riots was all caused due to an assumption, a guess , a maybe . Navy personals and such assumed the zoot suiters were thugs, criminals , at that adolecent criminals because of the way they dress. Now for example , Me , every time I go to target or what not , or any store, who follows me , Loss prevention. I get followed for what , the way I dress and I wear sports caps. Theyre assuming Im going to steal or somethng bad. The same way the navy seals thought the zoot suiters were criminals.

I chose the 2nd image of Alain Leroy Locke, Some things i know about him is that was that he was a philosopher best known for his writing on support of the Harlem renaissance, I also know that Alain Leroy Locke graduated from Harvard University and was the first African American to win a prestigious Rhodes Scholarship. The image is significant because it shows who Alain Leroy Locke is. People should investigate into Alain Leroy Locke because he is very important to history.

The image that i chose is the number 1 , the image of the bill , i think that's one important thing to the history , if we look good at the dollar bill , we can see some things that are from the past so if we look the bill we are looking the past too.

The zoot suit riots are significant because alot of innocent people were getting beat just for wearing a type clothes they wanted to wear just because some people thought it was unpatriotic

The federal reserve note is the image I chose because one small dollar bill has so much history and information that no one knows about. The only thing people care about is that it's simply money, but no one truly knows where it comes from or how it relates to everything around us.The bill has a letter on it, and the number it is in the alphabet. People should look into the federal reserve note more, in my opinion, because all of these things are right in front of our eyes.

I chose image 3 because what I know about it is that navy sailors were beating and abusing latinos for wearing zoot suits, As they were labled dangerous and gang related. I think this should be more in topics because people don't really talk on this or know about this history. I think people should know more about this, Is because its part of LA history that people don't really know and there is more not just this that the school in LA don't teach us from what the whites did to the latinos and blacks and still till this day.

I choose the third picture because it shows how much the people suffered. This picture was taken in the time the zoot suit riots began. This picture is significant because mostly African American and Mexican people started wearing loose clothing which by that time was very popularized. Young Latinos were then being oppressed by white officers who referred them as delinquents just because of the zoot suit were to attention seeking. Then things got really harsh between the white sailors and marine with the Mexican - American. Anybody who was wearing a zoot suit was beaten up by white officers. The victims that would get beaten up would get arrested for there own '' safety". Later on LA council banned zoot suits. In other word, I think people should really get into this topic to really know what really happened in this time and even to understand a little of what really went down.

I choose image 1 because people don't know about the hiding details on money because the 1 dollar bill had a lot of hiding details know one knows why is there an owl some people don't even know why the eagle is holding a plant and a arrow there could probably could be more hitting details on every dollar bill we just have to look closely at it. People about there numbers of the alphabet but did you know its also in every dollar bill. You could even see the star of David on top of the eagle and talking about that eagle presidents use it when there always making a speech. This is why i like to find these type of things hiding details on anything.

I chose to talk about the third image because i feel like more people should know what happened in the zoot suit riots and what caused it. I think this event is important because of who were the victims and how recent this was. This even isnt ancient history this happened in 1943. The zoot suit riot was the product of sailors who felt that they were disrespected so they went out with makeshift weapons and sought to beat anyone wearing zoot suits. The main people those suits were latinos.

I choose image one because I found it crazy how a dollar bill can mean so many things from the past like how they are owned by different company's. Also how it can relate to the Lion and King and the legend that comes with it.

I choose the 3rd image because it clearly shows how low of respect white people used to have for the brown and black community. I don't know why they had that hate, it's like damn ya'll really not happy with yourselves that you have to go to others and hit them just because of their skin.

I chose the first image because theres things on the dollar bill that we either haven't noticed or ignored. i think it should be investigated to see where its been before it ended up with someone.

I choose the image number 2 because this high school is named after him. His name is Alain LeRoy Locke. Alain was a American writer, philosopher, an educator, and also did art. I think it's very cool that this high school is named after him.

I decided to analyzed the 4th image for the reason that were in a time where it's repeating.There's been people against/anti Pox/covid vaccines because there "unsafe".The misinformation could brainwash people into not getting the vaccines which could cost many lives.

I chose Image 2 of Alain LeRoy Locke. He attended and graduated Harvard University and was the first African American to receive the Rhodes Scholarship. Locke graduated with a doctorate in Philosophy. Although with all these accomplishments Locke was faced with many challenges. He was denied access to the university of Oxford due to his race and many other places.

Alain LeRoy Locke was a important member of the harlem Renaissance. he went to Harvard University in 1907 and graduated with a doctorate in philosophy.the reason why i fee like people should investigate more into alain locke is because our school is named after the guy. and because he is also a important part of our countries history.

I choose the zoot suit riot because i know that the incident started when young latinos went up to the sailors mocking them which caused the sailors to react in a violent way and take homemade weapons and beat any latino or afro latino wearing a zoot suit after a short while of after the attacks started the latinos and afro latinos would fight back and cause major riots across the area strangely enough the cops wouldnt arrest the sailor responsible of the attacks but will arrest the ones who were atttacked "for their safety" after a couple of days military forces had to come and stop the fihting

I chose the image that depicted the zoot suit riots, because latino people were being unfairly judged, punished and beaten for what they wore. I feel like people should investigate more into this topic because I feel its important for people to learn more about how unfairly people from not so long ago were treated.

I chose the 3 image because it wasn't okay for Latinos to get beaten by the navy for wearing certain clothes. This should be investigated because it represents an important in history for Latinos and still isnt talked about much.

I choose image 1 because it shows how many details there on money yet many people don't realize there is history behind it. That's why people should investigate more about the federal reserve note because it is really interesting that there is history behind money and we use money every day.
