Resistance to domination and hidden transcripts

Reading about the two subjects on resistance to domination and hidden transcripts starting on page 68, reminded me of a book I read last spring for a Mass Communication class called The Race Beat by Gene Roberts and Hank Klibanoff. The book is about various accounts of the civil rights movement and how the press influenced that movement. The most heart wrenching part of the book is the details given about a young African American boy, Emmett Till, who was brutally beaten to death by white men because he whistled at a white woman. The men were eventually acquitted. This crime brought both the black and white reporters for the first time together sometimes even in the same room to write about what was happening in the trial and the Civil Rights Movement front. Back then in the 1950s through the late 1960s, black newspapers were distributed secretly, especially in the south because of the fear of repercussions from those in power. However, the writings during the Emmett Till trial were distributed along with photographs of the brutality published for all the public to see even in the North that lead to more support for change in the government for civil rights among all of the United States people. To me, this reasonates the subjects, resistance to domination and hidden transcripts, described in the book.
