HOW WE REMEMBER HISTORY THROUGH PHOTOGRAPHS

# data[].attributes.body
A lot of the time, history can be tramautic- especially for those who were directly affected by specific events, those who LIVED through these events. For those who may forget about these experiences, photographs help them to remember. For those future generations, photographs allow them to be educated and aware of what happened in the past. For example, the civil rights era and WWII. As someone who lives 70 years from that point, I would most likely not know about these historical events if not for photos. Even if someone were to tell me, I might not believe it because I didn't see it. Photographs solidify history, and they will continue to be around long after we (the current generation) are gone from this Earth.
