Asked why she would do this, she explained that by witnessing with their own eyes the brutality of segregation and racism, Americans would be more likely to support the cause of racial justice. "Let the world see what I've seen," was her reply. The publication of the photograph inspired a generation of activists to join the civil rights movement. Despite this extraordinary episode, the story of visual culture's role in the modern civil rights movement is rarely included in its history. This is the first comprehensive examination of the ways images mattered in the struggle, and it investigates a broad range of media including photography, television, film, magazines, newspapers, and advertising. These images were ever present and diverse: the startling footage of southern white aggression and black suffering that appeared night after night on television news programs; the photographs of black achievers and martyrs in Negro periodicals; the humble snapshot, no less powerful in its ability to edify and motivate. In each case, the war against racism was waged through pictures, millions of points of light, millions of potent weapons that forever changed a nation. This book allows us to see and understand the crucial role that visual culture played in forever changing a nation. 650 0 Race relations in art|vExhibitions. 650 0 Art and race|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85007971|vExhibitions.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh99001275 650 0 Civil rights movements|zUnited States|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2006008412|vExhibitions.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001275 650 0 Civil rights movements|zUnited States|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2006008412|vPictorial works|0https: //id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001272|vExhibitions. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001275 650 0 African Americans in art|vExhibitions.|0https://id.loc.gov /authorities/subjects/sh2009113932 650 0 African Americans in mass media|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh89003661|vExhibitions.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001275 650 0 Mass media|xSocial aspects|zUnited States|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008107508|vExhibitions. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh99001275 650 7 Art and race.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/815423 650 7 Civil rights movements.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/862708 650 7 African Americans in art.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/799722 650 7 African Americans in mass media.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/799731 650 7 Mass media|xSocial aspects.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org /fast/1011303 651 7 United States.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1204155 655 7 Pictorial works.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1423874 655 7 Exhibition catalogs.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/genreForms/gf2014026098 655 7 Exhibition catalogs.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1424028 655 7 Illustrated works.|2lcgft|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ genreForms/gf2014026111 655 7 Illustrated works.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1423873 710 2 International Center of Photography.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n79072965 901 MARCIVE 20231220 935 508592 948 |d20110223|cMH|tcheck|lridm|v1 994 C0|bRID
