In 1994, retired professional football star O. J. Simpson was arrested for the murder of his wife and her friend. From the beginning, the case touched on many elements of race because Simpson is black and his wife was white. The covers of both newsmagazines used the same mug shot from the day of his arrest, but the one on the right controversially altered the image, making Simpson’s skin appear darker.Why do you think the image on the right caused so much controversy?
