Today Mr. Bruns introduced us to our new project. I am in a group with Madison and Taylor Schaben. We are supposed to make a video which is supposed to kinda be like a commercial about the most important things that the Progressives did. We also have to research and make a presentation about it. After this we continued with more blog discussions.
The Photography Explosion
- In the late 1800s you couldn't take a picture of something that was moving
- It took a long time to get the camera all set up and get the photos developed
- Flexible camera film on a spool was soon invented that allowed you to take 100 pictures with it
- When you had the film filled up you would send them to New York where a man would develop your pictures and send them back to you and also give you a new roll of film
- The whole process was very inexpensive and gave you better quality pictures
The Wright Brothers
- Gained their experience from working in a printing press shop as well as working with bicycles and motors
- They are credited for inventing the first airplane
- They also created the axis control with allowed them to manually steer the plane
Jim Crow Laws
- The name comes from a play called "Black Face" which made fun of African Americans around the Civil War era
- Laws were passed separating blacks from whites in public places
