Four years later, she was the first African American to earn three gold medals and to break three wold records in the same field.

In December 1955 for refusing to give up her seat, several other African Americans had been arrested for the same reason, including a young woman named Claudette Colvin. Yet the NAACP, with Parks’ cooperation, decided to make her case the launch point for a massive bus boycott aimed at ending segregation. Though images of Parks as a quiet and tired seamstress have abounded, in actuality, her complex set of influences, family connections, and activist history provided a powerful backdrop for her decision to challenge segregation. Parks was actually arrested not once, but twice. On February 3, 1956, she, Dr.Martin Luther King,Jr. and others were indicted for organizing the bus boycott, which the state of Alabama declared was illegal. King, Parks, and others willingly turned themselves in and were arrested. In December 1956, the bus laws were finally found to be unconstitutional by the Supreme Court—a huge victory for the growing Civil Rights Movement. The bus boycott had lasted for 381 days, drawing international attention to the status of racial injustice in the American south.

For Prague Photographer since Koudelka feared reprisals.
The Soviets did not care for the “socialism with a human face” that Alexander Dubcek’s government brought to Czechoslovakia.
Their tanks rolled into Czechoslovakia on August 20, 1968.
Fearing that Dubcek’s human-rights reforms would lead to a democratic uprising like the one in Hungary in 1956, Warsaw Bloc forces set out to quash the movement.
And while they quickly seized control of Prague, they unexpectedly ran up against masses of flag-waving citizens who threw up barricades, stoned tanks, overturned trucks and even removed street signs in order to confuse the troops.
He soon fled, his rationale for leaving the country a testament to the power of photographic evidence: “I was afraid to go back to Czechoslovakia because I knew that if they wanted to find out who the unknown photographer was, they could do it.”
Josef Koudelka, a young Moravian-born engineer who had been taking wistful and gritty photos of Czech life, was in the capital when the soldiers arrived.
Koudelka’s visual memories of the unfolding conflict—with its evidence of the ticking time, the brutality of the attack and the challenges by Czech citizens—redefined photojournalism.

After the Sandinistas took power, the image became the defining symbol of the revolution—a reviled dictator toppled by a ragtag army of denim-clad fighters wielding makeshift weapons. Eagerly disseminated by the Sandinistas, Molotov Man soon became ubiquitous throughout Nicaragua, appearing on matchbooks, T-shirts, billboards and brochures.

In September 1952, Charlie Chaplin (1889-1977) looked back at New York on board the Queen Elizabeth. He was bound for Europe, to introduce the continent to his latest film Mousieur Verdoux. On the ship, Chaplin learned that the US government would only let him return to the US – where he had lived for the past three decades – if he subjected himself to an immigration and naturalisation inquiry into his moral and political character. “Goodbye,” Chaplin said from the deck of the ship. He refused to submit to the inquiry. He would not return to the US until 1972, when the Academy of Motion Pictures gave him an Oscar for Lifetime Achievement.

Why did the US government exile Chaplin? The Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) – the country’s political police – investigated Chaplin from 1922 onwards for his alleged ties to the Communist Party of the United States (CPUSA). Chaplin’s file – 1,900 pages long – is filled with innuendo and slander, as agents exhausted themselves talking to his co-workers and adversaries to find any hint of communist association. They found none. In December 1949, for instance, the agent in Los Angeles wrote, “No witnesses available to testify affirmatively that Chaplin has been member CP in past, that he is now a member or that he has contributed funds to CP.”
