The "Napalm Girl" photograph epitomizes the effect of media on the complicit observer. This is relevant because the Vietnam War was the first truly televised war in which Americans at home were able to follow along. Largely, this ability to view live footage decreased American patriotism and support because Americans were exposed to the extent of the brutality of war. While Americans were like sympathetic towards images of soldiers fallen victim to the war, an image of Vietnamese children running from terror while in terror would be an unforgettable image more powerful than the majority of the other televised clips. Some even claim that images such as the Napalm Girl played a role in ending the war collectively.

Photographer: David Hume Kennerly. Kennerly is known for his documentation of history through photography. He holds a Pulitzer Prize in Journalism (Feature Photography) for his work photographing wars in Vietnam, Cambodia, East Pakistan, and New York City. Kennerly also served as the Chief Official White House Photographer from 1974-77 and has photographed every President since Nixon. Knowing this information provides perspective. Kennerly visited Jonestown for publicity purposes, on a quest for TIME Magazine, rather than as a member of the People’s Temple. Similarly, his presence reminds me that little was known about Jonestown right after until photographers like Kennerly braved the seemingly impossible trek to release images of the horror. Kennerly has plenty of experience photographing war victims and casualties, however, he stated that nothing had prepared him for what he witnessed that day which emphasizes the sheer unsettling nature of the event.

This photo was taken during Nixon's Watergate scandal. Nixon was in the process of trying to cover up the break in of Watergate, which occurred to find out information on his opponents campaign.

During the time this photograph was taken many students were unhappy with the Vietnam War and the recent Cambodia bombings. Many students opposed Nixon as president and the choices he was making in office. The shooting killed four students and wounded nine.
This picture is important because it shows the reality of the war at home and the consequences. Kent state was not the only protest shooting because after Kent State a student strike at Jacksonville resulted in a shooting. This photograph is shocking because you are able to see young adults on the ground in despair.

The Watergate Scandal had been uncovered and 5 men were found breaking into the hotel. The White House had denied being attached to the men and their motives. However, Nixon was not able to deny the embarrassing and incriminating tapes that had then been uncovered.
This picture is important because it shows a US president deciding to resign before he was impeached. The act of the resignation was shocking because Nixon was admitting to defeat. The picture signifies Nixon's walking out on the presidency.

This photo was taken during the Paris Peace Accords. War was been raging in Vietnam between the North Vietnamese, South Vietnamese, Viet Cong and United States. A peace pact was signed by the 4 groups in Paris in end the Vietnam war and establish peace. This picture is important because it shows the groups coming together to sign the Peace Pact. After all the years of fighting and lies, the result of the war was a peace pact. If a person saw this photo at the beginning of the war they'd be shocked that this is how it ended.

Woman Strike for Equality Demonstration

On August 26, 1970 50,000 women paraded down New York streets linked in arms. The march served as a powerful symbolic gesture to show the unequal distribution of domestic labor. Women across the country would walk into "men-only" bars and restaurants.
The point of these demonstrations were to shed light on the inequalities women dealt with in their daily lives. They marched for free abortion, equal education, equal job opportunities,  and 24/7 childcare centers. This rally would be alike to the many for years to come.

This picture is taken while the Beatles are having a pillow fight. This is taken obviously before they break up. Tensions began over John Lennon bringing his wife everywhere. Then the rumors of them breaking up contributed to their break up. With all their popularity they couldn't do anything without being harassed and they ultimately got sick of it. If someone was to look at this photo, they would think this group was strong together forever. A group as big as the Beatles are in history would be one of the group that we would never to break up. Now with music groups nowadays they'll always have the thought of breaking up and going solo. The Beatles changed the way music groups are viewed.

The Energy Crisis resulted from the Oil Crisis of 1973. A petroleum shortage occurred when members of the Organization of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) proclaimed an oil embargo on nations supporting Israel during the Yom Kippur War. The United States was, in fact, in support of Israel and therefore, no oil was shipped to the US ( which is why many Americans believed that the shortage was unnecessary and "purely political"). Consequently, oil prices and inflation skyrocketed, making both oil and gas a limited and expensive commodity. The gas crisis proved challenging to the majority of Americans since money was tight in the average household (due to high inflation). Anyone employed needed to commute to work daily, for if they did not, they risked unemployment. The gas crisis not only limited the speed cars were to drive at (as pictured) but also limited how much gas one could pump and when they could access it (both restrained employees’ abilities to commute). Gas was being rationed and therefore sold under strange conditions; gas stations sold gas on an Even/Odd Day basis-if your license plate number ended in an even number, you could buy gas on even days and the opposite for odd-numbered license plate numbers. Nixon pleaded for gas-free Sundays and lowered the national speed limit to 55 mph.  NASCAR shortened/canceled races, more fuel efficient automobiles began to be constructed and American's grew bitter and frustrated: fights were common at the pump. Many families only owned a single car which created major problems. While public transportation was encouraged it was also limited due to the plaguing gas shortage. Therefore, the photograph is impactful because of the sheer contrast in circumstances from then to the present day. Public transportation and a decrease in car usage is encouraged not for necessary reasons but rather for environmental. As an observer, it is hard to picture such rationing because gas is readily accessible. However, the picture does not portray some radical phenomena, and neither is it shocking. The photo simply portrays an everyday reality for Americans during the era.

The infamous Jim Jones founded the Peoples Temple in Indiana in the 1950s later relocated the congregation to California in the 60s. After negative attention and remarks in the 1970s, Jones relocated the 1,000 member congregation to the Guyanese jungle with a promise to create a socialist utopia. Peoples Temple promised social and medical programs (ex: free dining hall, drug rehabilitation, and legal aid services) as well as promoted social and racial equality. An agricultural cooperative was created yet the people were plagued by starvation and illness. Jim Jones’ heavy drug addiction worsened and he believed people wanted to destroy him. To combat this fear, he enforced mock-suicide drills in the night as a way to prepare for an “honorable death”. On November 18, 1978 Jones worried his followers by telling them soldiers were coming to torture them, he ordered everyone to commit a “revolutionary act.” A third of the 909 dead were kids, the first to die. Parents and nurses used syringes to drop “Flavor Aid” (a mix of cyanide, sedatives and powdered fruit juice) down children’s throats. The parents and adults soon consumed the juice, killing themselves.  The photograph is shocking because it depicts a mass suicide which is rarely seen and is sensitive material. Jonestown was a completely different reality from America, a reality that was supposed to remedy people’s unsatisfaction with the American society but instead created a reality that most of the members of People’s Temple hated and wanted an escape from. Additionally, the idea of “racial and social equality” challenged the cultural norms of the times, as well as the creation of a socialist utopian which defies norms of both then and now.

Apollo 14 was the United State’s eighth mission and the third to land on the Moon. The United States had been sending crews on "H missions" which were targeted landings with two-day stays on the Moon and two EVAs, or moonwalks. However, Apollo 14 was the last “H mission”. Alan Shepard, Stuart Roosa, and Edgar Mitchell were launched on Sunday, January 31, 1971, and embarked on a nine-day mission, returning to Earth on February 9th, 1971. Alan Shepard and Edgar Mitchell spent 33​1⁄2 hours on the Moon, 9​1⁄2 of which were spent exploring and even playing golf. The photograph has an impact on our understanding of history because it documents an experience which was once off limits to human kind but through societal and technological advancements is now obtainable. The mission and photograph show how the United States is a champion of space exploration and serve to build unquestionable ethos for both the country and NASA. Similarly, the photo shows how American milestones in space and technology continued to increase even after the
Cold War era Space
Race. The Apollo 14 space victory was necessary because the on Earth 70s were a period of civil unrest and disappointment. During the downturn of the war (the late 60s/early 70s), there was not much light for people to anticipate. Therefore, any victory (even an intercontinental one) would have helped to raise spirits. As a member of Generation Z, the photograph does not portray something contrary to my understanding, since I have grown up after space exploration has been achieved. But at the time, it would have been an incredible success to land a crew on the moon and explore for hours seamlessly following the failure of Apollo 13. Apollo 13 was supposed to be the third mission to land on the Moon but an explosion in an oxygen tank forced the crew to orbit the Moon and descend home without landing on the Moon.

This photo is depicting the first day of school in 1974, the first day of forced school desegregation. These Black students were getting on a bus to be sent to a white school. This occurred, by the dismay of most parties involved, because the supreme court's ruling that it would be a sufficient way to integrate the schools.

This photo gives us a physical representation of the event. Photos help us in that sense in order to give realism to the event. Learning about an event in school is one thing, but having a visual from when that was occurring, is another story. In photos like these, you can see the emotion of the event, and how it impacted the people of the time.

The First mobile phone was made in 1973. They made the first phone call from the mobile phone on April 3rd. The Motorola employee called from Midtown to his company's headquarters of Bell Labs in New Jersey. Kids these days didn't know how large and dull phone were. Its pretty shocking to see how much phones have evolved. There has to be a breakthrough before it can be improved. The first mobile phone was highly inconvenient but it got to what we still use today.
