520    In 1955, shortly after Emmett Till was murdered by white 
       supremacists in Mississippi, his grieving mother 
       distributed to the press a gruesome photograph of his 
       mutilated corpse. 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.
