Dorothy Counts
Dorothy Counts is a name that should be sprawled across the pages of American history. She was the first African American woman to attend what was still an all-white American school back in the late 1950’s. The photo symbolizes how difficult it was to be viewed as different even back then, and she paved the way for more African Americans to join a movement for fair and equal opportunities for everyone. Remember her name and tell your children too.

A Memorable Dive
Even without much context, this picture would certainly be “Instagram worthy” in modern times too. Here, Westminster Bridge and the Houses of Parliament in the UK are shown, with two people diving off into the river Thames. This special moment was captured right at the very moment, with onlookers in awe at what they were bearing witness to. Sometimes, all it takes is being in the right place at the right time.
