- Abstract
Research tends to refer repeatedly to the close connection between the success of the American Civil Rights Movement from the mid-1950s and the rise of the mass media. Apparently, the success of social protest was promoted by the media's close attention; in fact, it even seems it was only made possible by this self-same media attention. In this way, the media concentrates its focus on just a few iconic photos, which have effectively developed into a catalogue of Civil Rights Movement remembrance constructs. This article explores these representations of gender stereotypes, which have cemented the traditional image of women within the context of the protest movement. It offers a critical review of the roles of mothers, daughters and widows within media communication in the light of their impact within the Civil Rights Movement, and they are analysed in relation to new options for action and constructions of identity as activists.
