The Burning Monk by Malcolm Browne in 1963

-

1. Why did you pick this image? What caught your eye?
I picked this image because it made me horrified and upset by the scene. What caught my eye was the fire then seeing the man in it.

2. What did you read about the photo and use about 2-3 sentences explaining the photo.
The Monk, Thich Quang Duc, doused himself in gasoline and sat lotus style while being engulfed by fire. Browne got there before it happened, hearing it from President Ngo Dinh Diem. In the photo, there's flame and smoke going up around the Monk. Everyone else is standing back watching the scene unfold in front of them.

3. Every photo has some additional information, links, readings, or videos associated. What else did you learn in addition to the actual photo?
This scene took place in Vietnam and when the photo was published it drew people in to what was happening. The Monk sets himself on fire to protest how the Buddhists are being treated.
4. What other image did this photographer take that caught your eye?

What did you read about the photo and use about 2-3 sentences explaining the photo. The 2 men holding up their fist are American sprinters Tommie Smith and John Carlos.

You can also see that Smith is holding a box that we don't know what's in it. 3. Every photo has some additional information, links, readings, or videos associated.
