In Focus: 50 Years Ago, The World in 1962

A half-century ago, the space race was heating up and the Cold War was freezing over. Soviet missile bases discovered in Cuba triggered a crisis that brought the U.S. to the brink of war with the U.S.S.R. Civil rights activists won hard-earned victories against segregationists in the American South, and John Glenn became the first American to orbit the Earth. Algeria gained independence from France and the U.S. slowly escalated its involvement in Vietnam. Meanwhile, Seattle held a World’s Fair called the the Century 21 Exposition, celebrating the themes of space, science, and the future. Let’s take a look 50 years into the past, for a look at the world as it was in 1962.

Girls in the Windows, 1960

Ormond Gigli dreamed up this photo when he realized a brownstone across from his New York apartment was being demolished. He quickly organized 43 models in formal attire to pose in the windows and ended up with an iconic photo that perfectly captures 1960′s architecture, fashion and colour.

Kathrine Switzer - 1967 Boston Marathon

Two miles into the 1967 Boston Marathon, an official tried to eject Kathrine Switzer from the race simply because she was a woman. Switzer tells producer Phoebe Judge the story about an amateur coach, a feisty official, and a race that helped change running for women in America.

Listen to her tell the amazing story on PRI’s The Story.

This is a pretty awesome sequence of photos.
