Images That Make You Stop.....And Think...

if anything, the photo does speak to you

it says that with the right amount of determination, you can do the impossible

sports really are more mental than they are physical

 

nice find

something you won't find in mainstream history books that recount WW2

would be nice to see black ww2-era soldiers outside of black history books/month

how'd you like to open up a 'normal' history book, read a regular passage from Italy and see this picture with a caption 'American (yes...AMERICAN) troops take stock of artillery rounds with special messages for Hitler scrawled on them'

 

this makes me think of the band 'Sonic Youth' and their hit song 'Kool Thing'

rumor has it the lead singer wrote the song with this guy in mind...

 

From the look of their uniforms, those guys on the left were French soldiers

I can't remember the last time I seen black French soldiers in ww2

 

Aww shit

 

Interesting

 

.....Priorities first,.....not enough can be said about the symbolic message in this shot.......
