Race officials are pictured attempting to remove 20 year old Syracuse University junior Katherine Switzer from the Boston Marathon in 1967. About two miles from the finish line, Switzer abruptly inserted herself in the race, attempting to break the long standing tradition of the male only event.
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.
