During a march against the Vietnam War on October 21, 1967, French Magnum photographer Marc Riboud captured a moment that would become one of the most iconic images of the era. In Washington, D.C., 17-year-old Jan Rose Kasmir stands in front of a row of American National Guardsmen, holding a chrysanthemum in her hands.
Riboud photographed the scene with his Leica, documenting the stark contrast between the fixed bayonets and the peaceful gesture of a flower. A powerful symbol of resistance and the impact of nonviolent protest.
This legendary image and many more inspiring photographs and stories can be found in our "100 Leica Stories" book. Link in bio.
