Why did civil rights activists in birmingham approve the media's use of such violent pictures taken by life photojournalist charles moore that depicted the mistreatment of women and young people during the birmingham campaign of april 1963?

It was meant to draw the public's attention to just how badly African-American citizens were being treated at the time. This was intended to be done as a way of turning public sentiment in the favor of those agitating for equality. Without these images, some may have felt that those campaigning were not serious in their claims or that the issues weren't of social importance.
