A victim of a lynch mob dangles from a bridge, circa 1910. Between 1889 and 1941, there were at least 3,811 known cases of lynching in the United States. There was never any federal anti-lynching legislation passed because southern politicians saw lynching as a necessity to maintain order in their communities. Many of these acts of vigilantism were photographed and sold as souvenir postcards!

Here is 4.5 minutes of Olympic diving from the 1936 Berlin Summer Games shot and edited by Leni Riefenstahl, Germany's renowned film-maker. The camera angles, the cuts, the slow motion, and the tempo of the film are all decades ahead of their time. Little wonder why Riefenstahl was a favorite of Adolf Hitler.
