"La Jeune Fille a la Fleur," a photograph by Marc Riboud, shows the young pacifist Jane Rose Kasmir planting a flower on the bayonets of guards at the Pentagon during a protest against the Vietnam War on October 21, 1967. The photograph would eventually become the symbol of the flower power movement.
I found most of these photos and their background stories very interesting to say the least. Others, like the aforementioned #26, #12 and #3 feel more like publicity crap to me.
After all, shipping around half the world to shoot at foreign guys in their own country so that the few extra-rich bastards at home could sell more oil and become even richer... Yeah, that makes perfect sense.
