About
Departing from a segregated Jim Crow South, this panel expresses the level of desperation of the South to hold on to its residents and labor force during a time of mass migration Northward. Five black and white figures are depicted in a meeting space, a white man in the front leaning on a table apparently leading the discussion. Lawrence uses a frame within a frame technique, perhaps trying to mimic photography, a new and innovative medium during the first half of the 20th century.
