The American public was appalled by the televised scenes of Birmingham's police force using dogs and fire hoses against peaceful civil rights marchers. These brutal images highlighted the harsh realities of racial discrimination and violence in the South, galvanizing support for the Civil Rights Movement. Many viewers, previously indifferent or unaware, were moved to activism, leading to increased national outrage and calls for legislative change. The stark contrast between the peaceful protesters and the violent response helped shift public opinion and contributed to the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
