An Education for All
An Education For All
Meet Dorothy Counts, the first African American to attend an all-white American school in 1957. Ignoring her surroundings, she seems to be holding a focus on why she is there – the opportunity to study. We cannot imagine how much indomitable courage and determination it must have taken for Counts to endure so much jeering and abuse from an entire school. As you can see, even teachers were in on the attacks, as shown by the man in the top right corner of the picture.
Landmarks of the Thames
Landmarks Of The Thames
What makes this an epic pic, is the clear landmarks of Westminster Bridge and the Houses of Parliament in the background of the two people diving into the river Thames. Sometimes landmarks in old pics really make them stand out. While you might think twice about jumping into this river today, we love how free-spirited and wild people were more than a century ago. This picture is the personification of a kind of youth long lost to us.
