This evocative set looks at and explains, through accompanying text, some of the greatest accomplishments of photojournalism—moments in time when history was caught on film.
Titles are: "First Flight" (the Wright Brothers at Kitty Hawk), "Spindle Boys" (Lewis Hines’s photo of child laborers), "Migrant Mother" (Dorothea Lange’s photo), "The Hindenburg Disaster," "Raising the Flag at Iwo Jima," "Integration of Central High School" (Arkansas in 1957), "Lee Harvey Oswald Shot," "East and West Shaking Hands" (shows the linking of the nation’s railroad line in 1869), "Escape from Vietnam" (stranded South Vietnamese struggle to board a plane as Americans evacuate), and "Survivors at Ebensee" (one of the first pictures of concentration camp survivors).
