1: We can tell that this drawing represents 2 characters in 1948. One sells signs to separate black people from white people, while the other is bringing news to the seller. The news explain that a law has been voted to ban segregation.
2/ the painter is shocked, his job is to make signs for segregation, therefore he supports it and probably think that white people are “superior”.
3/the goal of the cartoonist is to show the racist mindset of American people in this times. Of course they weren’t all like this but many thought that black people deserved no rights just because of their skin color.
