I had to pass this by the first time because I couldn't see it. Now I do. My eyes wanted to make all the dark part into the background. Interesting.

Fantastic! When I first looked at his picture, i thought: "Hey, it´s a little bit under-exposed". But, after that, I realized that it is probably intentional - the under-exposition in the kid made the kid´s skin darker, and enhanced the "whites only" conflict. I hope this one gets the blue ribbon, it´s the best of all.

I'm not sure how to think or feel about this. Is that good or bad?

It will be interesting to see what you were going for. Racially motivated statements are tough for folks to stomach.

Photographically. -- The foreground is strong, but the sign taped to the wall should be in focus as well. The DOF should be deep for this statement. This is a powerful statement, but no one that many are comfortable addressing. Good luck -- High marks.
