How did the civil rights movement interact with the anti war movement?

The Vietnam War divided the civil rights movement and African-Americans more than any other event in American history, exacerbating pre-existing rifts in the civil rights coalition, and it diverted attention away from the struggle for racial justice and toward opposition to the war,” argues Daniel Lucks, author of “Selma to Saigon: The Civil Rights Movement and the Vietnam War,” published in March. “All these factors had profound and tragic consequences for the civil rights movement and for black America.”

These two factors can be related as compared to many previous wars, the Vietnam War was highly publicized and filmed in the form of news footage for many Americans to see, and many of these scenes and images were extremely gruesome and cruel. This further led to public disapproval of the war and US intervention which led to the US to pull out of the war eventually. The public should be allowed this much access as this gives us better insight on how the progress of the war is goin and gives us more knowledge about how the military conducts it's operations.
