Robinson, Bettmann/CORBIS Source: wikipedia.org This picture is one of the most famous moments in sporting history! It  shows Cassius Clay knocking out Sonny Liston (former heavy weight  champion) in the first minute of the first round, in a rematch (Muhammad  won the match the year before after Sonny resigned to defeat  complaining of a shoulder injury).   Speculations circulated about Liston’s fall, many spectators considered  the bout fixed, even the FBI investigated the case. Some say while  preparing for the fight, Liston was visited by Black Muslims who  threatened to kill his daughter Eleanor if he should win the rematch,  others say Liston lay down for money.    <img src="http://img392.imageshack.us/img392/8775/muhammadaliversussonnyloo5.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> First Flight - 1903 Photographer: Library of Congress Source: first-to-fly.com December 17, 1903 was the day humanity spread its wings and rose above  the ground - for 12 seconds at first and by the end of the day for  almost a minute – but it was a major breakthrough. Orville and Wilbur  Wright, two bicycle mechanics from Ohio, are the pioneers of aviations,  and although this first flight occurred so late in history, the ulterior  development was exponential. <img src="http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/1976/firstflight1903vp6.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> First X-ray - 1896 Photographer: Wilhelm Konrad Roentgen Source: life.com  In 1901 Wilhelm Konrad Roentgen was the first recipient of the Nobel  Prize for Physics, and he truly deserves his place in history because  his discovery revolutionized the medical world.

He is considered a genius because he created the Theory of  Relativity, and so, challenged Newton’s laws, that were the basis of  everything known in physics until the beginning of the 20th century.  But, as a person, he was considered a beatnik, and this picture, taken  on March 14, 1951 proves that.    <img src="http://img161.imageshack.us/img161/8625/alberteinstein1951pr5.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Segregated Water Fountains  Photographer: Elliott Erwitt, Magnum Photos Source: wikipedia.org Picture of segregated water fountains in North Carolina taken by Elliott Erwitt.    <img src="http://img91.imageshack.us/img91/9246/segregatedgu1.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> The Plight of Kosovo Refugees - 1999   Photographer: Carol Guzy Source: washingtonpost.com The photo is part of The Washington Post’s Pulitzer Prize-winning entry  (2000) showing how a Kosovar refugee Agim Shala, 2, is passed through a  barbed wire fence into the hands of grandparents at a camp run by United  Arab Emirates in Kukes, Albania.

The photograph provoked feelings of anger in the immediate  aftermath of the September 11 attacks, particularly in the United  States. It ran only once in many American newspapers because they  received critical and angry letters from readers who felt the photo was  exploitative, voyeuristic, and disrespectful of the dead. This led to  the media’s self-censorship of the photograph, preferring instead to  print photos of acts of heroism and sacrifice.   Jonathan Briley, a 43-year-old sound engineer who lived outside of  Manhattan, in Mount Vernon, and worked in the North Tower restaurant,  was identified by chef Michael Lomonaco as The Falling Man. According to  the documentary he was also identified by his brother in the morgue by  his orange t-shirt and shoes.    <img src="http://img390.imageshack.us/img390/7091/thefallingmanjj8.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> </blockquote>
