This is probably one of the most egregious reasons that civil rights photos are in black and white in the textbooks despite color cameras having been a well-established thing by then. To make it seem like it was long ago when it was/is still quite recent. RedliningYour textbooks are made in Texas and the publishers therefore use Texan standards nearly everywhere...Educational material should not be made in red states.
Fun Fact: Rosa Parks was pretty much financially destitute in her later years, and the founder of Little Caesars Pizza stepped in and made sure her rent was paid, and she wanted for nothing for the rest of her life. True Story.
Yet another reminder that people act like the civil rights movment is distant history, but a lot of the people who were involved in the protests are atill alive today.
