The girl's sign on the left talks about a wealthy engineer named Rarig. This showed the separation of classes where many working families were starving and unemployed while the wealthy were treated differently. This photo shows how children at this time formed unions and protested against the inequalities between these classes in order to promote change. ]]> 2019-05-13 16:10:53 UTC https://padlet.com/MartinezKA/s5jctcp8xd7s/wish/359551950 Kathrine Switzer runs the Boston Marathon karsynn_ingle501 https://padlet.com/MartinezKA/s5jctcp8xd7s/wish/359985555 It used to be believed that women could not run marathons. Kathrine on the other hand, believed that she could, despite all of the negativity, including her coach telling her that it was not possible. During the race official John Semple tried to stop her, but her boyfriend and running partner pushed him off. In 1967 Kathrine became the first woman to run the Boston Marathon. Although it was not until 1972 that women were officially allowed to run the race.]]> 2019-05-14 16:18:48 UTC https://padlet.com/MartinezKA/s5jctcp8xd7s/wish/359985555 Charlie Chaplin Exiled From US glorie_romine316 https://padlet.com/MartinezKA/s5jctcp8xd7s/wish/359986244 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.”

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.]]> 2019-05-14 16:34:53 UTC https://padlet.com/MartinezKA/s5jctcp8xd7s/wish/359993306 Invasion Of Prague https://padlet.com/MartinezKA/s5jctcp8xd7s/wish/359998070 2019-05-14 16:44:14 UTC https://padlet.com/MartinezKA/s5jctcp8xd7s/wish/359998070 Migrant Mother jessica_dao886 https://padlet.com/MartinezKA/s5jctcp8xd7s/wish/360761456 The Great Depression was an economic depression.

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. ]]> 2019-05-16 15:13:50 UTC https://padlet.com/MartinezKA/s5jctcp8xd7s/wish/360835257 Tereska Draws Home jasmine_shin983 https://padlet.com/MartinezKA/s5jctcp8xd7s/wish/360836458 Tereska, a young girl who grew up in a concentration camp, draws a picture of what home looks like to her.

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. ]]> 2019-05-16 15:19:26 UTC https://padlet.com/MartinezKA/s5jctcp8xd7s/wish/360838569 Another Example MartinezKA https://padlet.com/MartinezKA/s5jctcp8xd7s/wish/360856852 2019-05-16 15:52:46 UTC https://padlet.com/MartinezKA/s5jctcp8xd7s/wish/360856852 Wilma Rudolph sritika_katanguru303 https://padlet.com/MartinezKA/s5jctcp8xd7s/wish/360857654 Her life began with her doctor telling her she could never walk again due to polio and scarlet fever. With the help of her family, she was able to prove what seemed to be the impossible and be successful in sports. At an early age she earned a bronze medal in the 1956 Olympics for track and field. Four years later, she was the first African American to earn three gold medals and to break three wold records in the same field. ]]> 2019-05-16 15:54:16 UTC https://padlet.com/MartinezKA/s5jctcp8xd7s/wish/360857654 Afghan https://padlet.com/MartinezKA/s5jctcp8xd7s/wish/360868444 2019-05-16 16:17:16 UTC https://padlet.com/MartinezKA/s5jctcp8xd7s/wish/360868444 Afghan Girl hana_musa102 https://padlet.com/MartinezKA/s5jctcp8xd7s/wish/363336023  This cover of National Geographic in 1984 was taken of a woman named Sharbat Gula.
