The document discusses the famous 1963 photograph of Thich Quang Duc self-immolating in protest of the treatment of Buddhists in Vietnam. Malcolm Brown, a photographer sent to Vietnam by the Associated Press, received a tip to photograph an important event the next morning. He arrived to find Thich Quang Duc light himself on fire while remaining still and silent. The graphic photograph drew international attention and is believed to have influenced President Kennedy's decision to withdraw support for the Diem regime in Vietnam.
