Vietnam Soldiers Were Reunited with Their Family
Whoa, will you take a look at her face in this photo! The Vietnam War erupted on the 1st of November in 1955. The conflict spanned the rest of the decade and even extended to the ‘60s.
The war only came to an official close on the 30th of April in 1976. However, there had been causes for celebration even before that day arrived. This photo shows an air force pilot by the name of Lt. Col. Robert Stirm, who was a POW. This photo shows him after his release and reunion with his family.
Joan Trumpauer Mulholland Was An Activist Put On Death Row
If you do not know who Joan Trumapauer Mulholland happens to be, you are in for a real treat. This is a story you should always bear in mind. She had been an activist and Freedom Rider active during the height of the civil rights movement in the ‘60s.
She decided to set aside her friends, family, and education to fully involve herself in the movement. She participated in her very first sit-in but got arrested soon after this. A lot of her fellow activists got arrested as well. Did you know that, for two months, she was even put on death row at the Parchman Penitentiary? We are glad to hear that she got released and keeps fighting for equality until now.
