Portraying a Historical Message

In honor of Constitution Day, I decided to create an image showing the 13th amendment. I combined pictures of influential, famous figures, Martin Luther King Jr. and Abraham Lincoln, with a picture of slavery. I put them together to create a cohesive picture with a meaning. Two men who fought for to end slavery along side actually slaves working. To tie the image together, I used the text tool to write out the actual amendment. I then messed with the opacity of the images to create the visual you see above. 

Photoshop can make very powerful, meaningful images!!
