This piece of artwork reminds me of Bessie's fight to get what she wants. In Having Our Say, Sadie was much more laid back. She thought she could win the battle in the classroom with civil rights and equality. Bessie on the other hand liked to get her hands dirty with the movement. She was the one who would be on the streets standing up for what she believed in with other people. The people in the picture do not look like they are going to back down. I feel Bessie had this attitude and look to her too. She was ready to fight if it meant giving up everything just to stand up for what she believed in.
