About
In this panel, Lawrence depicts a Jim Crow South and harmful segregation laws that resulted from it. A black woman and a white woman stand at opposite sides of a river drinking from a fountain, the black woman sharing hers with a child. There is both the physical divide of the river coupled with the metaphorical divide of segregation. Additionally, Lawrence plays with the dichotomy of the archaic river landscape with the modern drinking fountain, a large point of contention in the Jim Crow South.
