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:

Rosa Parks

"I knew someone had to take the first step and I made up my mind not to move."
(Rosa Parks, pictured in 1988)

In 1955, Parks refused to give up her front seat on a bus to a white male, resulting in her arrest. The incident would prove to be a key moment in Civil Rights history.
