Albert Einstein's posits the theory of relativity


In 1946

Albert Einstein traveled to the Lincoln University in Pennsylvania to teach at the first school in America to grant college degrees to black students.


While teaching at the university, Einstein gave a powerful speech in which he described racism as “a disease of white people.” He added, “I do not intend to be quiet about it.” As a member of the Jewish community in 1940s Europe, Einstein was familiar with the horrendous outcomes of racist attitudes. Here, he is giving a lecture on his theory of relativity to Lincoln students.

Honoring the Animals


This remarkable photo from 1918 depicts American Soldiers paying tribute to the millions of horses, donkeys and mules that were killed during WW1.

In addition to the thousands of soldiers who were killed during the first great war, over 8 million horses, donkeys and mules were brutally slaughtered in battle




In this photograph, American soldiers pay tribute to the animals who helped them win the war. They have joined together to form a horse's head and this moving photograph commemorates the forgotten animals who gave their lives to the nation.

Ms Perfect posture 1956



In May, 1956, a beauty contest was hosted at a chiropractic convention in Chicago. This photo displays the three proud winners with their trophies for perfect posture

The contest winners were picked based on the beauty of their X-rays and their standing posture. Each girl had to stand on a pair of scales with one foot on each. The three winners distributed their weight equally on each meaning they had the correct standing posture. The event was hosted to improve the reputation of chiropractic, which was a relatively new profession at the time

Franceska Mann
The brave Franceska Mann (pictures) was a Polish-Jewish dancer who was taken to Auschwitz in 1943. When she was ordered to strip, she did so in a provocative manner which momentarily distracted the guards. While they were admiring her physique, she quickly grabbed the roll call officer's gun and shot him, killing him instantly. She wounded one other guard and her bravery inspired other prisoners to join her rebellion. Unfortunately, the rebellion was unsuccessful and all the prisoners who partook in the rebellion were shot dead

just looking.

Private Concert
This spectacular image depicts Louis Armstrong serenading his wife Lucille in Egypt, 1961.

Louis Armstrong was an American composer and trumpeter and is considered to be one of the most influential figures in jazz. His career spanned from the 1920s to the 1960s and he was inducted into the Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame in 2017

In this picture, he is standing with wife in front of the great Sphynx. To receive a private concert from one of the greatest jazz players of all in time on one of the world's most incredible locations is quite something

The 1966 Blizzard



In 1966, a terrible blizzard swept across the United States and the East side of the Rocky Mountains.

The blizzard bought heavy snowfall and temperatures that reached record lows. At least 142 people died during the blizzard and 31 of these froze to death. Many people also died in fires that started while people were desperately trying to heat their homes. By the time the storm eased, the death toll had reached 201. This photo illustrates just how deep the snow levels reached.

Moving a 5MB hard drive



In this photograph, at least four men are struggling to maneuver the hard drive onto a truck. The IBM Model could hold 5 MB of storage which is about 6 images worth. A company could lease the storage for $3,200 a month which is probably around $30,000 today when you account for inflation!. The average smartphone has up to a total of 100000 MB

Saundra Brown


In 1970, Saundra Brown became the first black woman on the Oakland police force to be officially trained on how to shoot a gun.

Saundra was a police officer between 1970 and 1977. After her time on the force, she received a J.D. from the University of San Francisco School of Law. She went on to become a deputy district attorney in Alameda County and she is now the Senior Judge of the United States District Court for the Northern District of California



.NB . The Black woman is God

Potato Sack Marilyn

In 1951, Marilyn Monroe was snapped wearing a low-cut red dress to a party. The next day, a columnist slated her and claimed that she looked "cheap and vulgar." He then commented that she would have looked more decent in a potato sack than in her red dress.


Marilyn had her own special way of responding to critics and dealt with his harsh comments with her wicked sense of humor. She simply responded with this brilliant photo proving that even in a potato sack, she still looks impossibly amazing

Humanity


World War II was a difficult time for everyone, including the animals. Many of these animals were creatures that had been transported to Europe prior to the war. This photograph shows a citizen taking care of a curious looking bird. The bird was from Berlin Zoo and was just one of the many animals that ended up in the care of citizens as the Soviet troops approached Berlin in 1945. Imagine trying to use the bathroom with this crazy creature swanning about

When friends got your legs


With the help of Harvey Wilson (left) and Frank Harvey (right), Private Robert Maye is leaning down from a window to kiss his wife, Gloria, goodbye before leaving for the Korean War in 1950

Candy at last



This wonderful photo is reminiscent of the U.S. on Black Fridays. All of these people are rushing inside a sweet shop on the day that sweet rationing ended in England, 1953.

Since the start of World War II, sweets had been rationed alongside many other items including eggs, milk and sugar. The year that the sweet ration ended, sales of confectionary increased by £100 million. Like the children in this photo, people all across the country queued to get their candy on the day the ration ended

Haha had to post this from .....

TV for the first time


The boy must be no more than nine or ten years old and has stumbled passed a shop window of an appliance store in the late 40s. A television set is being displayed in the window and his shocked expression is a result of the fact he has never seen a television in his life. The magical box displaying moving pictures had blown his mind.

First Kilt

This Italian woman is curiously inspecting the kilt of a Scottish soldier. The soldiers are standing near the Coliseum after the liberation of Rome in 1944.

During the liberation, shops were closed and huge crowds of people took to the streets to cheer and hurl flowers at passing vehicles. They were celebrating Hitler's announcement that he had ordered all troops to withdraw from Rome.



While many photographs were taken of the celebrations, this image captures an Italian woman innocently taking a look at what we presume to be the first kilt she has seen

Thrive no matter what



In the 1940s, London was bombed day and night for nearly two months. This woman has had her home destroyed by a bomb but this has not stopped her from enjoying her special day. Dressed in a stunning white dress, the bride steps around the rubble with a big smile on her face. Her bridesmaid smiles and waves from the window, ignoring the destruction of the property to join in celebration of the happiest day of her friend's life.

Football Truce

During Christmas 1914, French, German and British soldiers called an unofficial ceasefire along the Western front.

In the spirit of Christmas, the soldiers ventured into no-man's land to chat, exchange gifts and swap prisoners. In some camps, they even partook in joint burial services for their lost soldiers and the meetings ended in carol singing




The event became known as the Christmas Truce and is best known by photos of men from both sides playing a friendly game of soccer together.

So happy birthday?

President Nixon Resigns


Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein are sat together side by side watching President Nixon resign in 1974.

The Watergate scandal had shocked America for two years and rather than admit to his wrongdoings, Nixon stepped down halfway through his second term.



Btw- Nixon decriminalized Marijuana for his greedy gain and race war , knowing fully well War on drugs was a scam motto ' in other words Nixon was not a good guy



The Watergate scandal tarnished his legacy and Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein were the reporters who brought the scandal to the public's attention. Here, they are triumphantly watching as they witness their journalist venture result in the president's resignation

Iran in 1970's



This photograph is of a woman cutting her birthday cake in Tehran, Iran 1973.

This seemingly insignificant photograph demonstrates just how different Iran was in the 1970s. Now, wearing the hijab in compulsory and cutting a birthday cake in shorts like this woman would be illegal and would result in punishment.



In fact, if this woman was alive today, she would likely be arrested in put in prison for daring to take a photograph like this. It just goes to show how much things have changed in Iranian culture

Discovering Antinous


The Statue of Antinous was discovered in Delphi during an excavation in 1894.

The ancient statue is a young Greek beauty from Bithynia. He became the rumored lover of the Roman emperor Hadrian and died in Nile under suspicious circumstances.



Curiously, the statue was discovered standing upright on its pedestal alongside the holy Temple. It was found in relatively good condition and is known to be one of the most beautiful and impressive cult statues. It is likely to have been built following Antinous' death in 130 A.D.

Empire State 1941



Before New York City was a city of skyscrapers, the average building was no more than a few stories high. When the Empire State Building was erected, it consequently looked unbelievably huge in comparison to the rest of the city. It's no wonder that people came to the city just to see the enormous iconic landmark

Late Night Phone calls


This is a photograph of a female dormitory late at night in the 1970s.

The image gives insight into what college life was like before the days of Facebook and mobile phones.

Nun and Fashionista


What is lovely about this picture is the nun's expression. Despite their white gowns and traditional, modest dress, they are looking upon the fashionista with an admiring smile rather than judgment. The woman on the right is a stark contrast to the nuns in her short dress, sunglasses and stylish shoes and handbag. She does not seemed phased by the presence of the nuns but the contrast makes for a fantastic image.

The Pyramids before Tourism

Yes this was a tic tok challenge of the 50's


Our grand parents goofing off as teens



Oh and there must be at least be 15 people in the call box

American Soldiers retuning home.........after destroying some country
