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."

Licensing

  • Note: The photo was actually published in many newspapers with no copyright notice at all, neither for the photo itself nor the newspaper overall. It was originally distributed with a valid copyright notice in 1970 [1], but many newspapers ignored the notice and printed it without one. After winning the Pulitzer Prize it was sent out without a notice [2], then with a valid one again in 1975 [3]. However, all the publications without notice may have been unauthorized which would not lose the copyright.
