Just thinking of doing a little decor with historical, maybe iconic black and white photos and was wanting to see if you guys had any suggestions. Preferably relating to American History/Americana but other stuff might be ok too.

I do like the Rosa Parks mugshot as a starter and I'm looking to add 5 more. Any ideas?

This is one of my favorites.

If you say you hate the state of politics in this nation and you don't get involved in it, you obviously don't hate the state of politics in this nation.

There's also a massive sculpture of it at Mardasson Memorial in Bastogne, Belgium

LIFE published a 75th Anniversary magazine "The Road to VJ Day" and that picture was on the back.

The caption read: "The kiss, between strangers, was delivered without the woman's consent"

Thought of some of those too (Hindenburg, Iwo Jima, Jack Ruby). There are some Vietnam pictures that came to mind too for impactful black and white photos, but they also are not the type I'd hang up.

Rosenthal's Iwo Jima Flag Raising photo would be #1 on my list and it wouldn't even be close.

I guess the Belgians will be out there with a wrecking ball any day now.

The story isn't that [DeSantis] "couldn't win" the primary. The story is that an overwhelming majority of our population is heinously stupid. 50% of them vote for communists. 75% of the remaining 50% vote for Trump, who cant win. When the majority of the opposition party insists on voting for an opposition candidate who can't win, you get exactly the government you deserve. - Well Endowed Ag

We went to Malvern Hill a few years ago and did an anniversary program that discussed the boy in this photo (Edwin Jemison). The rangers said that he was killed by artillery fire from the Union Navy in the James river, 2 miles south of the battlefield.

Unfortunately that was fairly common with the long held POWs. Years ago I read a mediocre book about the longest held POW Floyd Thompson and his life went to **** when he got back.
