- Postcard, "In the Good Old Summertime," circa 1913 - The degrading image in this early twentieth century postcard was intended to convince white people that African Americans were inferior, second-class citizens. To many white Americans, the image of happy blacks eating watermelon -- a stolen fruit in often-told tales from the days of slavery -- reinforced their view of race relations, one where benevolent whites ruled and blacks "knew their place."
