  >Color cameras only became common at the end of the 60s and beginning of the 70s Huh? What is a "color camera"? Kodachrome film was invented in the 1930s. It wasn't immediately commonplace and, yes, we still tend to think of the 40s and 50s largely in monochrome. But color slides were certainly common by the 60s. What was true (and what you're seeing) is that news photo reproduction for print was primarily B&W. Therefore, most news and documentary photography was still done in B&W even after color was readily available for consumers.
