Someone needs to colorize the top pic. I'm not convinced they were any less vibrant or peace-loving then. They just happened to understand it would take violence to protect, well, anything that needs protecting.
Usually this format implies highlighting a significant change between "then" and "now", but I really think it just highlights "the first picture was taken before 1978", and and "the specific of the struggle have changed, but not the presence"
I'm not entirely sure what they were trying to highlight.
The bottom pic reflects much more of a soft-sell, non-violence-and-family-friendly-only take on the topic. The top pic leaves getting one's face smashed in, with bricks or dildoes, firmly on the table, where it should be when one considers human rights negotiable.
Totally agree on the hard line stance on human rights.
I guess I'm just not seeing what you're seeing. They're both pictures of people mostly holding signs and peacefully marching. A woman holding a sign and smiling doesn't scream face smashing to me.
If that was the point they were trying to make, then maybe actually using an image from the stonewall riots might have conveyed that a bit better than two sets of images of people peacefully marching.
