Media was really important in showing how people opposed civil rights activism. Here’s how it did that:
Visibility: TV and newspapers showed the ugly truths about racism and violence right in people’s homes.
Public Outrage: Shocking images of protests and the violent responses from groups like the KKK made many people angry. This anger helped bring more support for civil rights.
Documenting Resistance: The media reported on what activists were trying to achieve and the harsh treatment they faced. This helped shine a light on the struggles of civil rights leaders.
All this media coverage played a big part in changing how people thought and helping to create change.
