Poignant 1968 image of Ethel Kennedy pleading for the life of her husband just seconds after a gunman's bullets pierced his body in an act of cold blooded murder. The raw emotion of this photograph is extremely powerful as she hovers over her slain spouse. Kennedy's assassination would be a powerful climax to a decade dedicated to peace but resulted in so much violence. Wire photo is in perfect condition and was released the same day (moments after) the horrific event took place.
