Re: World's most famous photograph I vote for this. Probably the only photo that also has a memorial of the event. |

1 edit | I saw that actual statue in New York. I didn't know it would be at the museum and was astonished as I came around the corner and there it was.
Apparently, the picture was posed, however. The photographer had seen something similar earlier that day and had it recreated for the photograph. |

Halifax, NS | I was in grade 3 on November 22, 1963 when JFK was shot.. I also remember watching Jack Ruby shooting Oswald in the basement of the Dallas Police Department on Sunday November 24, 1963 on tv.
When I returned to school on Monday, the Union Jack flew at half mast at Atlantic Memorial School in Shad Bay, Nova Scotia...
The world had lost a champion. the USA a King... |
