This picture is a great example of the large amount of racism that occurred in the 1930s. The owner of this store would only sell his products to whites. Not only is this a terrible business decision, but it is a mean and racist decision as well. If I was a store owner, I would allow anyone to enter just so I could make more money. It is stupid that someone would rather live with less money than sell their products to African Americans. This picture was taken in an area in Ohio that I am very familiar with. It is disturbing to know that this type of racism existed there.
