Book excerpt: Photographers shot millions of pictures of the black civil rights struggle between the close of World War II and the early 1970s, yet most Americans today can recall only a handful of searing images. Martin A. Berger demonstrates that we have inherited a photographic canon - and, hence, a picture of history - shaped by the desire of whites for 'safe' images of unthreatening blacks.
