Iconic Photos From the 50s That Will Make You Long For the Past If You’re White

Audience Seeing 3D Film, 1952

This iconic snapshot shows a screening of Bwana Devil, the first full-length 3D film. One look at this vintage adventure and you’ll want to return to the exciting early days of modern cinema when people still dressed up to go to the theater! So long as you are a white person, otherwise you would not have been allowed in the theater. And what is this sea of white people so captured by? A film about two white men entering Africa to fight a man-eating lion who is stopping construction of an American railroad. Wow! American history sure is consistent.
