i find it somewhat inspirational i'm thinking if putting it up on my facebook what is your opinion!?Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I really like the photo :-) Here's another link to it: http://festival!.magnumphotos!.com/images/!.!.!. I found the following info on it: The photograph was taken by Mark Riboud!. The girl with the flower is Jan Rose Kasmir-she was 17 at the time!. It was taken Oct 21, 1967 in Washington DC at a protest against America's involvement in Vietnam!.!.!.which became known as the March on the Pentagon!. The rally resulted in one of the first violent clashes of the antiwar movement!. Tear gas was lobbed into the crowds, 686 protesters were arrested & dozens were beaten as they were pushed off the Pentagon's steps!. A French newspaper tracked down Jan Rose Kasmir in 2003 & followed her to another antiwar protest!.!.!.in London, against the Iraq war!. She brought a poster-size copy of the 1967 photo with her, invoking the activist legacy of the 1960s against the conflict in Iraq!. Mark Riboud was there & captured that moment also!. Info taken from this ariticle that I found really interesting!.!.!. http://www!.smithsonianmag!.com/history-ar!.!.!.
