Streets of Gaza.

That is horrifying. What is the story?

His guilt is unknown, but the punishment (dragging to death through the streets) was surely effective on the public.

John Paul Filo of Valley Daily News and Daily Dispatch, Tarentum and New Kensington, PA

For his pictorial coverage of the Kent State University tragedy on May 4, 1970.

This photograph of a young girl kneeling over the body of Jeffrey Miller, one of four students killed, was carried on the front pages of hundreds of newspapers throughout the U.S. and the world. It became a symbol of college protest in our country. The impact of the photograph is immeasurable even today. - from the entry letter.

The Post had a great article about this photo a few years ago.

This was incredible to read about! I don’t think I ever knew how the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed, and almost wasn’t. Amazing photo, people, and article.
