The camera's role in documenting a critical social movement

Today, cameras are almost ubiquitous on mobile phones, and anyone can be a photographer. In this new technological landscape, millions of lenses are focused on the major events of a tumultuous period. For this Race Matters report, Jeffrey Brown looks at the power of the camera to shape and shift public perceptions -- now and in the past. It’s part of our ongoing arts and culture series, Canvas.
