This post presents a collection of historic photographs spanning from the early 19th to late 20th century. Starting with the establishment of the first Muslim school in Ramah, New Mexico, in 1915, we journey through scenes of groundbreaking lunar explorations, the aftermath of Hitler’s death, revolutions in Mexico, pivotal moments in American and global history, and emblematic snapshots of life in gritty urban landscapes. Witness moments of human ingenuity, resilience, and destruction — from moonshiners using cow shoes to evade law enforcement during Prohibition to remote-controlled tanks utilized in WWII, and even the crew of the fatal Enola Gay. These powerful images, such as Russian grenadiers, gathered in solidarity in 1914, and a burning airship tragically falling from the sky over New Jersey, offer us a glimpse into our collective past, mirroring the hopes, fears, triumphs, and tragedies that have shaped our world today.
