What’s the use of a comment function when nobody doesn answer any questions? I am still interested in the sources for this (and without it’s nothing more than a) story, thank you.

Iconic photos taken half a century ago. Thought important to Americans at the end of the Eisenhower age, I wonder how different those places are today, if at all. Even after the billions of dollars Americans, and others, have given to this place, and many others. Old photos are fine, but how has the money WE have thrown at these poor places changed anything?

I have seen pictures of Afghanistan and Iran from the 1960′s that show them as “modern” places with freedom and equality for women and jews (!) before “islam” took over their governments. Why are these icons missing from this site? You often ridicule what the Germans did in the 1930′s, yet you let similar current events in the middle east to go unnoticed (tens of thousands dead in Syria?).

I’d also like to know the sources, especially for the last paragraph.
I’m running some stories about Gordon Parks on my blog ( http://burnedshoes.tumblr.com ) in the next days, also about this special topic, so it would be very interesting for me, thanks!

I appreciate your behind the iconic images information. I would like to know the origin of some data, for example the excerpt and how ended the money and the reaction of O Cruzeiro, not O Cruziero (a type mistake). By the way, there are more info in the book about Life photographers wrote by John Loengard, What they saw. Regards
