The world today can’t go 30 seconds without some attention-seeking soul taking a selfie. It’s so common today, yet that sort of vanity was a little harder to spot back in 1837, when a certain Robert Cornelius took one of the first ever self-portrait photographs.
In this tragic image, a shamed mother is photographed putting her children up for sale in 1948, highlighting the difficult years many Americans faced after the War. The thought of mum selling her kids, along with a sign posted in her front yard, feels preposterous by today’s standards. But this image is no joke, and the children in question did in fact find themselves sold off to strangers at the behest of their own parents
Our perception of war is pretty grim and scary, but the realities are unimaginably worse unless you’ve experienced it yourself. That’s what makes this image so striking, taken in Rukajärvi, in East Karelia, in November 1942; this Russian spy opts to smile before he’s executed. It was perhaps his last act of defiance. ‘Death smiles at us all, all a man can do is smile back’ – Marcus Aurelius.

Meet Kathrine Switzer, the first woman to compete in the Boston Marathon as a numbered entrant. During the race, one Jock Semple attempted to stop Switzer by grabbing her official bib; however, he was shoved to the ground by Switzer’s boyfriend, Thomas Miller, and she ended up completing the race. In 1972, women were officially allowed to run the Marathon.
The opening credits to any Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer production is synonymous with the roaring lion, everyone has experienced that vintage roar before the film is about to start, becoming a symbol for the MGM brand. It was here in 1928 that they filmed the famous roar, I hope those cameramen are still in one piece.
美国也有卖儿卖女的年代啊。。。。

美国的社会福利体系 在西方国家 算是很差很差吧!!
主要是工会组织太差, 各种工人的叛徒太多.
工人运动不如欧洲轰轰烈烈. 能把资本家搞倒!!
