This took a lot of courage from people and changed history to what we know today.]]> 2018-05-16 15:16:33 UTC https://padlet.com/20180509/srr2egw9k2dt/wish/261255469 20190252 https://padlet.com/20180509/srr2egw9k2dt/wish/261256594 John Paul Filo is a photographer whose picture of 14-year-old runaway Mary Ann Vecchio screaming while kneeling over the dead body of 20-year-old Jeffrey Miller.

When North Vietnam was trying to overtake South Vietnam we couldn't allow that to happen which led to war. Not only did we have to deal with them, but it led to us having to deal with our own country and how our people felt about the whole situation.

The Soviet Union was the first to have a man-made item to land on the moon. This was a major leap for us because this showed technological advancement and that we beat the Soviets to space with a human. We've been in a space race with the soviets for almost 20 years and doing this was a big accomplishment because it showed that we were technologically more advanced then the soviets and felt as a victory. And this photograph is shocking because it shows how developed we are and what the future could possibly hold. ]]> 2018-05-16 16:34:53 UTC https://padlet.com/20180509/srr2egw9k2dt/wish/261291891 20190252 https://padlet.com/20180509/srr2egw9k2dt/wish/261297888 This photo is of Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak when they create the first Apple computer in 1976.
