Summary: In May 1963 news photographer Charles Moore was on hand to document a civil rights protest. But the photographs he took that day 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 helped rally the civil rights movement and energised 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 colour of their skin. (Publisher)
