A Man On The Moon by Neil Armstrong: Neil Armstrong took this photo of the second man on the moon, Buzz Aldrin. I chose this photo because it is a very iconic image and was monumental in US and space history.

Cotton Mill Girl by Lewis Hine: Lewis Hine took this photo of a little girl working in a cotton mill factory, hoping that it would make people demand change to end child labor. I chose this photo because it inspired social change and helped put in place child labor laws to make it illegal for children to be forced to work.

V-J Day In Times Square by Alfred Eisenstaedt: Alfred Eisenstaedt captured this photo of a soldier kissing a nurse on the day that World War II ended, August 14, 1945. I chose this photo because it is another iconic image and it captures the pure joy and relief that Americans felt when the war ended. It is monumental and important in world history, not just US history.
