History Thru The Lens

Welcome to my blog site!

My interests in history and photography come together in this photoblog. Featured in this blog are historical pictures such as the above photo of the RMS Olympic and her sister ship the RMS Titanic, which would prove to be the last one of them together side by side. Hopefully all who visit will enjoy it and recommend the site to their friends.

NOTE:

Civil Rights in the 60's

The Reverend Martin Luther King is pictured in the center of this picture leading 8000 people in the 3rd Selma Civil Rights March on March 21, 1965. Three marches from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama were defining moments in the American civil rights movement, which challenged black people's voting rights.
