Post Juneteenth post to say it's weird to me that we only see photos of the Civil Rights Movement in black and white, when they share history with the 60's - a time when colour photography was so prevalent it was booming. Here are some photos of Civil Rights movement in colour

A block from a King rally in 1960, white photographer Bernard Kleina caught white agitators vandalizing the car of a Black family.King at the August 1966 Marquette Park demonstration. I find this photo particularly interesting. The people in it, the fashion, the facial expressions. This could have been yesterday.. A photo by jordan J. Lloyd taken in 1963 of a multiracial rally where of a quarter of a million people marched peacefully on Washington to highlight racial injustices and put pressure on Congress to pass a civil-rights bill proposed by President John F Kennedy.Rosa Parks speaking at the multiracial rally mentioned in the previous photo, in 1963. Seeing her in colour is powerful - seeing the texture of her hair and the pattern of her dress, seeing the modern look of her fashion and her sunglasses, even the technology of the mics, looks more recent when shown in colour. Seeing her in color makes her look like someone you could know, someone you might talk to at the sandwich shop while waiting for a lemonade ( I just drank a lemonade so it's on my mind. It was good)
