First Organ Transplant(1950)

    In the 21st century, organ transplants are an everyday procedure to help save the lives of hundreds of thousands. Livers, hearts, kidneys and lungs are just a few of the organs shipped across the USA and delivered to patients in need. It wasn't always this way though, before 1950 many people would suffer and die from organ failure. Technology was not advanced enough to successfully perform the simplest and the most common procedures although successful transplants of bones, skin, nerves, tendons and eye corneas had been accomplished.

    The first person to ever have a transplant done was a 49 year old girl by the name of Ruth Tucker. Ruth suffered from polycystic kidneys(inherited by her mother) and was in dire need of a new one. On June 17, 1950 at Little Company of Mary Hospital, history was made when surgeons performed the first vital organ transplant on Ruth. People gathered around to watch as one of the most important steps in human medical/technical history unfolded. while filming, one pf the camera crew who was supposed to be recording fainted as he wasn't used to being exposed to such a gruesome environment.
    Today technology has advanced greatly and cloning is even a possibility in USA. There are certified brain surgeons and people are now opening chests to perform heart surgery and even replacing parts of tissue that no longer work. With our advancement in medical techniques and the possibility of cloning, what could come next in the near future?

WW2: Dorothea Lange

   Dorothea Lange was known for her famous photographs of the change in the home front during the war. She studied photography at Columbia university and worked in New york until 1918 when she began traveling. she was one of the well known and pioneering documentary photographers of the 20th century. She was born on May 26, 1895, in Hoboken, New Jersey. Heinrich Nutzhorn (her father) was a lawyer, and her mother named Johanna, was a stay at home mom who watched over her and her brother. At the young age of 7, Dorothea was diagnosed with polio, which left her right leg and foot weak.
    I
n 1920, she got her first real taste of documentary photography when she traveled around the Southwest,  mostly photographing Native Americans. Then during the Great Depression she documented labor strikes as well as endless waiting for the economy to turn around. In 1935, Lange was deployed to Texas and the Dakotas to record the happenings of the dust bowl and the migration that it brought with it. The dust bowl was a huge drought that swept through the southern states in the 1930's. It caused the migration of farmers to California when their jobs were blown away by the dust.  In 1940, she received the Guggenheim Fellowship award. In her line of work,  Lange experienced the beauty of her well-known portrait, “Migrant Mother,” which was an iconic image that gently and  captured the hardship and pain of what so many Americans farmers/migrants were facing.To this day the portrait now hangs in the hall of congress.
   When America entered into World War II, Lange was hired by the OWI to photograph the Japanese Americans. In 1945, she was employed also by the OWI, this time to document the San Francisco conference that created the United Nations. All this while battling health problems, she was still able to co-founded Aperture, a small publishing house that makes a periodical and high-end photography books.
