How has SCIENCE / TECHNOLOGY affected the Civil Rights movement?
I’m interested in knowing any lowly known facts about how Science/technology affected the Civil Rights movement in America.
Best Answer goes to…the best answer!
The television played the biggest part. People could see Malcolm X and King on tv talking about what African-Americans wanted and what they were being denied. People could see the images of the children being sprayed by the police. The Edmond-Pettus bride and Bloody Sunday that took place in the 60s. James Meredith attempting admission into the Ole Miss. The Little Rock 9. Those images and more really shaped the country.
The printing press. Jet magazine showed the photo of Emmitt Till and that image really shocked American back in 1955.
The telephone. The phone played a part in the movement. Calling people to assemble..
Radio and music also played a part.
J. Edgar Hoover and his goons using wiretaps to tap into Martin Luther King’s home and used this info to intimidate him and others in the civil rights movement. Others civil rights leaders were wiretapped as well.
The science aspect of this is recently they opened up cases from the past. Like they dug up Emitt Till’s body (I think) and Medgar Evers body to determine how they were killed and to prosecute. The four little girls that were killed in that church bombings assembling and determining who was at fault. They are opening up cases from the civil rights past to prosecute.
