Tokens in their own movement. http://www.npr.org/blogs/codeswitch/2014/06/14/318917992/50-years-ago-freedom-summer-began-by-training-for-battle?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=npr&utm_term=nprnews&utm_content=20140615 Although there are six black people in NPR's chosen photo, and only five white, the five white people are in the front of the chosen picture while only two black people are in the front. Two other of the six black people's faces are not fully visible in NPR's chosen picture. This picture was most likely chosen consciously because it showed how blacks and white worked together during the Civil Rights Movement. But unconsciously, whoever chose it chose an image with more white faces than black. Maybe it was a white or black person simply not realizing what they were doing, despite the subject matter. Or perhaps it was a black person afraid of being called "racist" if he/she chose a picture with more black people than white. Either way, for a Civil Rights image and article, the focus should be on the black people who fought for their rights not on the whites that helped but could then re-assimilate back into white society and never be questioned if they so chose. The article then goes on to focus on two white men, one of whom died in the movement. His sacrifice was noble, but no more noble than any of the black people who also died during the movement. It was good of white people to help during the Civil Rights Movement, but there should never have been segregation, which was put into law by whites, in the first place. Whites cleaning up a mess that whites made shouldn't make anyone more thankful to whites than they are to blacks, who were cleaning up a mess that they were subjected to but didn't make themselves.
