But the photographs he took that day did more than document an event; they helped change history. His photograph of a trio of African-American teenagers being slammed against a building by a blast of water from a fire hose was especially powerful. The image of this brutal treatment turned Americans into witnesses at a time when hate and prejudice were on trial. It helped rally the civil rights movement and energized the public, making civil rights a national problem needing a national solution. And it paved the way for Congress to finally pass laws to give citizens equal rights regardless of the color of their skin.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51959495754016,"sku":"NEW0756543983","price":9.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/birmingham-1963-how-a-photograph-rallied-civil-rights-support-captured-history-0756543983","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
