Media technologies refer to the tools and platforms that enable the creation, distribution, and consumption of content, especially in relation to communication and information sharing. In the context of the civil rights movement in the 1960s, these technologies played a crucial role in shaping public perception and mobilizing support for the cause. Innovations such as television, radio, and print media were instrumental in broadcasting the struggles and achievements of African Americans, helping to galvanize national awareness and political action.
