On Sept. 25, 1988, photographer Russell
Cheyne captured this image of the United States’ Florence Griffith-Joyner winning the women’s 100 meters final in
Seoul. She would ultimately walk away with three gold medals and the nickname
Flo-Jo. Though her world records in the 100- and 200-meter dashes still stand
today, Griffith-Joyner died at the age of 38 during an epileptic seizure.

On June 12, 1987, President Reagan gave
a rousing speech to a crowd of 20,000 at Brandenburg Gate in Berlin. There, he
uttered one of the most famous lines of his presidency: "Tear down this
wall.” The phrase was part of a broader call to Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev
to destroy the Berlin Wall that divided East and West Germany. This photo from
the White House Photographic Collection shows the president speaking to the
crowd.

On Jan. 28, 1986, NASA’s Shuttle Challenger
exploded 73 seconds after launch. The tragedy took the lives of all seven
astronauts on board. Had the mission been successful, schoolteacher Christa
McAuliffe would have been the first civilian in space. The crew members are pictured
here in this NASA file photo.

In November 1985, President Reagan
invited Prince Charles and Lady Diana to a gala at the White House, where they
rubbed elbows with Hollywood stars. As Diana was preparing to dance with "Grease” star
John Travolta, the 24-year-old princess became nervous. "I felt that I had taken her back to
her childhood when she had probably watched "Grease,” and for that moment
I was her Prince Charming,” Travolta later said of the event.
I feel like a teenager all year long: no
money in the wallet, hair long and out of control, thinking what to do with my
life, and grounded at home.
There are thought to be just a
handful of pink beaches in the world and one of the most famous (and most
spectacular) can be found on Komodo Island in Indonesia. The beach's pastel hue
is created when the red shells of tiny creatures called foraminifera combine
with white sand. Sandwiched between crystalline waters and a rugged green
landscape, this pink sand strip is almost too pretty to be real.
In
the summer of 1984, the United States returned to the Olympics after boycotting
the previous games in Moscow. America hosted the event in Los Angeles, where
the team nabbed 174 medals. In this photo by Ken Hackman, athletes from the
U.S. team wave to spectators during the opening ceremonies at the Los Angeles
Coliseum.
