But then I can flip this around just as easily and point out the prevalence of the lost cause mythos/explicit racism against blacks in the late 19th century/early 20th taint historical research of the period much more so than any bias the civil rights movement introduced. And that the closer you are to an event, the more biased you get because of your personal experience and involvement in said events taints any attempt at objective judgement.No one doubts that, but events taking place at the same time historians are working affect their interpretations. Using my civil rights example historians sought looking at "the bad south" narrative around the time the civil rights movement prevailed. Society and current events affect historians that it my point.
