EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful print captured by Agence-France Presse (AFP), we witness a pivotal moment in American history during the Vietnam War. The image depicts a group of young Americans gathered in Union Square, New York on November 7,1965, defiantly burning their draft cards as an act of protest against the war raging in Vietnam. The square format emphasizes the unity and determination of these demonstrators who are fighting for peace. Each face tells a story - that of a pacifist or political activist willing to challenge authority and risk consequences for their beliefs. Amidst the flames, we see identity papers being reduced to ashes; symbolic acts rejecting enlistment day for conscripts. A police officer stands nearby, his presence serving as a reminder of the tension between those advocating for change and those tasked with maintaining law and order. Yet despite potential repercussions, these brave young men remain undeterred as they take part in this historic demonstration against war. This photograph captures not only an iconic moment but also represents the spirit of resistance that defined an entire generation during one of America's most divisive conflicts. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst chaos and violence, individuals can come together to voice their dissent peacefully – using fire symbolically to ignite change rather than destruction
