Oppressive and racist institutions still shape the material conditions of all POCs today. This also goes back to Martin Berger’s theory of how the media often featured photographs of black victims in order to attract sympathy from whites and to be able to cover the path of the civil rights legation of people not only of color but also everyone’s. But at some time, that law did not work or was not taken into account because whites had more power than people of color. the photographs could impede efforts to enact or even imagine reforms that threatened the racial power of whites all because they needed a more generalized display of the opposition. The black are shown as victims of violence and are shown as defenseless people. Although it was a good move to show the public these images in order to spread the word about the civil rights movement. images of protesters beaten by the police can still be seen in some current media. Rather than raise the voice of blacks and were able to protest together to them ultimately, they discredit what the movement stood for and now what the Black Lives Matter movement stands for today.
