Photos during the Civil Rights movement were in Black and White because they were cheaper and because News Papers were in black and white (most of the people taking pictures were taking them to publish them).
So here's some color photos of Martin Luther King to remind everyone that this was recent. This is recent history. This is recent memory for a lot of people. People are alive today that got to witness MLK's speeches.

I want you to know Malcom X hated Israel along with most people during the civil rights movement
"Most people during the civil rights movement" except for Martin Luther King and his family, Bayard Rustin, A. Phillip Randolph, Rosa Parks, John Lewis, Elijah Cummings, and hundreds of others, you mean?
Basically all activists involved in the civil rights movement respected Jews and Israel. You are of course permitted to ignore them in favor of faketivists who raise awareness on OF.
As for Malcolm X, there's a lot about him if you check the comments / reblogs; basically, he was extremely antisemitic for most of his life because that was the doctrine that the Nation Of Islam cult preaches. After going to Mecca and getting a taste of non-culty Islam, he changed his mind about Jews and apologized, then NOI killed him.

"Any religion that professes to be concerned about the souls of men and is not concerned about the slums that damn them, the economic conditions that strangle them and the social conditions that cripple them is a spiritually [dying] religion awaiting burial."
Reverend Martin Luther King Jr.

Selma Burke began playing with clay around the age of seven. And with that experience, she discovered a love of making sculptures. “It was there in 1907 that I discovered me,” she said, looking back.
While Selma loved art, her mother encouraged Selma to pursue a financially stable career. So Selma studied nursing and took a job as a private nurse in New York City in the late 1920s.
But in New York City, Selma found much inspiration from the Harlem Renaissance scene. She found a community of artists and began making art a more significant part of life.
To improve her skills, Selma began taking art classes at Sarah Lawrence College. She then traveled to Europe for training and projects. In 1941, Selma earned an MFA from Columbia. And the year prior, while still a student herself, she opened the Selma Burke School of Sculpture.
Selma dedicated herself to teaching and making art. She would go on to create sculptures of numerous famous figures, including Duke Ellington and Martin Luther King Jr. However, her most famous work was a portrait of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. That portrait hangs today at the Recorder of Deeds Building in Washington, D.C.

Lo que me preocupa no es el grito de los malvados. Es el silencio de los buenos.

A life is sacred. Property is intended to serve life, and no matter how much we surround it with rights and respect, it has no personal being. It is part of the earth man walks on; it is not man.
— Martin Luther King, On Attacking Property
