Poignant image of Ethel Kennedy pleading for help seconds after a gunman's bullets pierced her husbands body in an act of cold blooded murder. The raw emotion of this photograph is extremely powerful as she lunges with hand outstretched in a desperate plea. 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.
