| Description |
Mary Ann Vecchio gestures and screams as she kneels by the body of a student, Jeffrey Miller, lying face down on the campus of Kent State University, in Kent, Ohio. On publication, the image was retouched to remove the fencepost above Vecchio's head. It is a historically significant photo of the event and one of the defining images of the Vietnam War. It is a Pulitzer prize-winning photo. There exist multiple, non-trivial mentions of the image in notable, mainstream sources. For example, CNN describes it as a "famous photograph", and NPR describes it as an "iconic photo." |
