The one guy's sign said "integration". Same thing in the end, really.

Great thread! I love antique photos! Thanks!!!!!

I would like to add some too:

Young Milla Jovovich

Beatles in their 15s

Salvador Dali 26yo

Marilyn Monroe

Vladimir Putin as a teen

Bill Gates as very young and still not that rich

Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak

Bill and Hillary Clinton

Face of the Statue Of Liberty when it was built in France

Marilyn Monroe and Queen Elizabeth in their 30s

Great thread. Should keep it going if anybody has any old historical photos they'd like to share. I also enjoy things like this. Breathe of fresh air from the transgender nonsense.

These pictures are amazing. Thanks for sharing and making my morning more interesting

That's why I said "technically." The court case that led to Clinton high was based on a desegregation order. But, yes, integration is the same thing.

Awesome thread. I'm pretty bored here at work so that was refreshing.

So that rail gun......holy cow. I never knew such a thing existed!

It seriously looks like it comes straight out of a video game or something. It's kind of surreal, seeing a cannon THAT BIG...

I was recently working on custom art work for "Why We Can't Wait" by MLK to give to a friend. I came across this pic of the Birmingham protests:

I am soooo in love with this girl! The way she's looking straight at the camera, and the sign is spot on! Of course I had to include a painting of this on the inside cover (MLK's mug shot on the other end of the book, portrait on the cover):

Hitler had an obsession with massive guns that has caused many people to wonder about the size of his own equipment. The rail guns were siege weapons, but insane ones. They had to have double tracking laid down for them and they took an age and a half to load.
If you want to see what he wanted as the ultimate tank then see this. Ludicrously impractical (it was too heavy for most road bridges) and mechanically a nightmare.

Yes, but at least the Maus had two prototypes built. The insanely large other projects were cancelled on the drawing board. The Maus had massive problems with its drive shaft and clutch. The Ratte would have basically sat there as it burned out both drive chain and clutch in a futile attempt to move. Totally impractical.

Look closely...

buttons killers gang of trotsky 1920s made in usa . this is not the hammer and sickle is

S & F. I find old photos like this really interesting.

ETA: I'm a baseball history buff in general, and a Lou Gehrig fan in particular. I've always found this photo intriguing: Lou smoking a butt and drinking a beer in front of his locker. So un-Gehrig like based on his reputation as the ultimate health nut while he was playing.
