FDR’s Funeral, 1945
At Franklin D. Roosevelt’s funeral, Navy Chief Petty officer Graham Jackson played the accordion. He always did this when the president would pay visits to Warm Springs. He was honored yet saddened when he was asked to play for FDR one last time.

The photo was taken by Ed Clark and captured the emotion in Officer Jackson’s eyes as he played the instrument. It was FDR that helped lead America through the Second World War.
Hells Angels, 1965
Back in the 60s, the Hells Angels were at their height and often misunderstood and feared by the public. Photographer Bill Ray decided to spend a few weeks with the biker gang and eventually got this photo.

Ray had taken many more, but the editors of LIFE didn’t want to publish them because they believed that no one would be interested. They certainly couldn’t have been more wrong, as we now know in today’s world.
