The Freedom Riders was an organization that consisted of both Blacks and Whites who sat on chartered busses to protest against segregation. Many Black people intended to protest with cautious/calm methods while the Whites protested with intense violence. Their main goal was to eliminate segregation from public transport which was successful because they convinced the Federal Government about it in 1961. This photo shows one of the busses of the Freedom Riders being burned. It’s significant because it shows how many people were against them at that time.

Vietnam in the 1970s was divided into 2 parts; North and South - North Vietnam was communist while South Vietnam was Anti-Communist. The US fought alongside South Vietnam because the US were attempting to eliminate communism which caused over 3M deaths on both sides. Tons of Americans were against this War because they thought that America had no business in this War. Surprisingly, North Vietnam won and they call it the “Victory War.” The photo shows a booby trap that kills US soldiers instantly after stepping on the top “hidden” surface. Tons of these were established by Vietnamese soldiers which is probably one of the reasons North Vietnam won the war.
