Photographers shot millions of pictures of the black civil rights struggle between the close of World War II and the early 1970s, yet most Americans today can recall only a handful of searing images. This title offers alternative photographs of the era that challenge the stories told in many of the famous scenes.

A reinterpretation of the iconic photographs of the black civil rights struggle. It shows how the very pictures credited with arousing white sympathy, and thereby paving the way for civil rights legislation, actually limited the scope of racial reform in the 1960s.
