Recoloring History One Photo At A Time [Gallery]

When growing up, we learned about history in black and white.  The photos in textbooks were aged and in less than perfect condition.  But with image altering software such as Photoshop being so readily available, why do we need to view these images in black and white?

In this gallery you will find:  Colorized photos of Abraham Lincoln, Mark Twain, Winston Churchill, Pearl Harbor, and Vietnam.
