Wright Brothers Soar
Beyond what most minds could imagine, in 1903 the Wright Brothers did what was thought of in the past as impossible. Orville and Wilbur Wright launched the first successful flight via airplane in 1903. Although the planes at that time may not have the same power of those of today, the ideas and concepts used by the Wright Brothers allowed for progressive and innovative ideas on travel to this present day decreasing travel time that would usually take longer on feet.

In 1962, American spy planes discovered Soviets installing nuclear missles in Cuba that could reach the U.S. After intense negotiations, Soviet leaders agreed to withdraw missles from Cuba and the U.S. agreed not to attack Cuba. They also agreed upon a treaty that banned the testing of nuclear weapons in the atmosphere and space.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964
In this photograph, President Johnson is signing the Civil Rights Act of 1964 with Dr. King one of its biggest supporters behind him. This act is one of the most important legislations during this time because it outlawed any unlawful treatment of minorities through voter registration and segregation in the workplace, school or in public.
It later became stronger in its enforcement which led to the election of minority officials in the Judiciary systems and in the US Government as a whole.

NYC BLACKOUT 2003
In a photo taken by Diane Bondareff posted on freerepublic.com, it shows one of the terrible after effects that arose due to the result of an earlier blackout that took place on the east coast. In a NYC subway station on a hot summer day, many New Yorkers are seen leaving a train which had lost power and walking in conditions which most may have never experienced before without proper cooling or ventilation systems working. That circumstance alone has forced people who may have not liked each other to work together and brought everyone together who may have distanced themselves at once into one collective group called “human beings”. This day will forever be in our American history.
