The artifact I have chosen to discuss is a photo of my great grandparents, taken in 1964. This photo holds special importance as it provides a glimpse into the lives of my ancestors and their experiences during a pivotal time in US history. Born in 1898 and 1900, my great grandparents lived through a period of immense change and progress in the United States. The photo captures a moment in time when they were nearing the end of their lives, reflecting on the journey they had taken from the turn of the century to the 1960s. This artifact serves as a connection to the past, allowing us to understand the impact of history on the lives of everyday individuals.
