Best represents variety
Our group chose picture 4 in the "Documenting the Blues in Mississippi Delta" slideshow. I think this best represents variety because there are many different aspects that are happening in this picture such as, sports teams, girls, Malcom X, beer, and it all seems to be in a bar. That is why I believe this picture represents variety.
