When looking at any image, be it on your screen, in a museum, or in a book, ask what factors came and collided to make this piece of human expression come before you.
Was the racism and violence in the 70's and 80's that bad if a police officer could play with these kids? Are we de-volving or e-volving when it comes to matters of race?
Is she playing because she is also a member of a minority, and sympathizes with the plight of other minorities?
Was this one isolated moment when one person refused to treat others differently?
Will these children remember this moment too? How will they reflect on it, years after it happened, in the social context we now live in?
