Some of these photos don’t make you cry but they make you sad…

1. Dorothy Counts First Day at Harry Harding High School
When the Brown V Board of Education trial deemed segregation within schools unconstitutional, Counts made history; becoming one of the first black students to enroll at the all-white Harry Harding High School in Charlotte, North Carolina. But, in scenes of a horrific nature, the 15-year-old was bullied, harassed and intimidated by her fellow students. Unfortunately, and some would say inevitably, Counts act of bravery didn't last long as her father withdrew her after only four days of attendance.

Waiting For Death
2. This graphic photo of a starving Sudanese child kneeling to his death as a wide-eyed vulture waits in the background sent shivers through the international community when it was published in 1992. Captured by Kevin Carter, the photograph would go on to win the 1994 Pulitzer Prize.
However, it seemed the images Carter documented were almost too much to bear, leading the famed photographer to take his life a year later. Leaving a suicide note, the South African wrote, "I am haunted by the vivid memories of killings and corpses and anger and pain ... of starving or wounded children, of trigger-happy madmen, often police, of killer executioners.

A Polar Bear and Giraffe in Captivity
3.Animals have long been confined, but you'd think in the 21st-century things would have changed. However, for many wild animals, staring out at a fictional painting of their natural habitat will be the closest they come.

If they didn't take those snaps, the stories would be passed on as mere folklore down memory lane.

A Deceased Vietnamese Soldier Pictured Beside a Photograph of His Wife
In 1968, The Tet Offensive- a campaign launched by the Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Army- was responsible for some 14,000 deaths. But, like all wars, the fragility of combat brings loss to not only the soldiers but also their loved ones.

London was blitzed heavily in the war, and the resulting damage was catastrophic for its social and economic climate. However, as this photo depicts, infants were not exempt from the damages.
