~~Weak support~~ Oppose I think this falls into the "high historic merit" category. Othewise, I dislike the composition so greatly, I'm tempted to oppose. Sign is cropped on the left, there's far too much headroom, a lot of empty space on the right. Image itself is grainy; I can't tell if that's from a scan or the actual image, plus he's very out of focus. But the issue of segregation is blatant, and there's more than one "message" being exposed here. – Kerαunoςcopia^◁gala xies 17:43, 22 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose per Keraunoscopia, but I disagree about the "high historic merit." Racial segregation was so common that these kinds of photos should not be rare. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 04:55, 23 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- I wasn't really sure, and I should've placed emphasis on "think" (which I've just added). Changed my vote to oppose. – Kerαunoςcopia^◁gala xies 06:10, 23 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose The picture is grainy and has an unfortunate crop to the left. All other flaws are acceptable IMO becouse of it´s age. Also I´d like to point out that the picture is overcategorized.--Snaevar (talk) 10:35, 24 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
