'Unity is the only way forward'

The late, great Rodney Fox, the World War II veteran and professor of visual communication at Iowa State University, said a picture can be powerful even if it doesn't have dynamic lines and lighting – if the mere presence of the subjects side-by-side conveys great meaning. His example was the famous photo of FDR, Stalin and Churchill at Yalta, representing the U.S., the Soviet Union and Great Britain united against Nazi Germany at the end of WWII. Their unity conveyed certainty that Hitler was doomed. The world rejoiced.
