    Color film was not as widespread and more expensive. This is not a case like the MLK photographs which were digitally altered to be black and white to make school children believe it happened a longer time ago

      I was actually making a joke about conflating the two fascist rallies at Madison Square Garden, but thanks! That’s an interesting point about how MLK photos have been presented. Propaganda can be very subtle.

        Ah I gotcha, there’s some good color restoration film of this even if you can find it. I remember distinctly it being in a history documentary I found and then saw again on YouTube about the German American Bund.
