Human history is full of beauty, advancements, and progress. But there has always been a dark side to humanity. Humans have the awful ability to hurt others. Violence, fear, and power have caused some of the worst wars, crimes, and pain. Photographs taken through the decades have documented some of the cruelest acts and intense moments. Natural disasters, ghostly hauntings, and freak accidents have also been captured on camera. These photographs can be extremely hard to look at. But they should serve as a reminder to us to be kinder to others, lend a helping hand when we can, and work to protect, rather than harm each other.

The Roaring Twenties were a time of economic prosperity, Prohibition, flapper girls, and iconic fashion trends. For women, skirts were all the rage. Midi-length with a drop waist, beaded decor, and a pair of sling-back kitten heels would be a trendy outfit. Accessories like headbands, hear wraps, and cloche hats would tie the look together. Men wore a lot of newsboy caps, button up vests under suit jackets, and pinstripe, pinstripe, pinstripe. Top that with a pair of leather brogues to complete the outfit. The looks from the 1920s have come back in style many times. The looks are elegant, timeless, and flattering, which is probably why they have made their way back into the style zeitgeist multiple times over the years.
