Tank Man. This iconic image speaks for itself. a lone man stands against a seemingly unstoppable foe, simply to make a point. For those who do not know, this photo was taken near Tianaman Square, in Beijing. The man in the white stood in front of the tanks, impeding their progress during a student protest against oppression by the Chinese government. Similarly to Walter Lee and all African-Americans facing the daunting foe of racism, this man did not know if he would come out alive. By doing this, he made a stand against the forces that oppressed him, just as Walter Lee when he refused to give up his home in an all white neighborhood.
