CARTOON ANALYSIS
In this cartoon by Dave Granlund you can see a huge billboard on which there is the picture of Martin Luther King. King was an African- American Baptist preacher from the Deep South of the United States who became active in the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. After Rosa Parks had refused to give up her seat for a white man on a segregated bus in Montgomery/Alabama in 1955, King helped to organize the Montgomery Bus Boycott which resulted in a verdict by the Supreme Court which ruled segregation on buses to be unconstitutional.
This success led the Civil Rights Movement planning other forms of non-violent protest, such as sit-ins an rallies.
One of the most famous rallies took place in August of 1963 when people from all walks of life marched on Washington to hear leaders of the movement speak. On that day King delivered on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial his famous speech: “I have a dream”, in which he dreams of a world in which all Americans, no matter their ethnic or social background, can live together peacefully and equally.
Granlund refers to this speech in his cartoon by writing the title on the billboard although a lonely ladder and a pot of colour show that the painter hasn’t finished yet.
This unfinished state of the billboard should represent that King’s dream is indeed not finished yet- in other words, it hasn’t been achieved yet. People from minorities, including African-Americans, Hispanics, Muslims etc. still have to fight for equal opportunities in the United States. And almost every day people are faced with discrimination and racism which seems to be on the rise since President Trump’s sometimes intolerant remarks give people the impression that they can show intolerance towards other people without any serious repercussions.
The cartoonist wants to remind people that King’s dream is something they should aim for, so that black and white children can finally sit peacefully together at the table of brotherhood.
You could add information about
- American dream
- Declaration of Independence which King refers to in his speech
- Barack Obama as first African American president seemed to be the wish-come-true for the Civil Rights Movement etc.
