Additional Information
One of the most iconic photographs of the 1960s that captures the tragedy of President John Kennedy's assassination in 1963 is seen here as his young son, John F. Kennedy Jr., is pictured saluting his father's casket during his funeral procession. This picture remains one of the most recognized images of the era and represents a defining moment in American history. Stan Stearns captured this image, which is one of the most published photographs in American history, and was the frontrunner for the Pulitzer Prize in 1964. His influence on photojournalism and American photographic history cannot be underestimated.
Stearns served as a United States Air Force photographer before joining United Press International. Stearns was elected President of the White House News Photographers Association in 1969. He later opened a private studio where he captured images of numerous celebrities, political leaders, and other notable figures of the twentieth century. This photograph was taken only three days after JFK's assassination and on John F. Kennedy Jr.'s birthday, which furthered its reputation and symbolic representation as the nation was being transformed by the Vietnam War, Civil Rights Movements, and increasing polarization by political leaders calling for change to the established systems of power.
This iconic photograph immediately transports the viewer back in time, creating an indelible bond between the past and present. JFK Jr would go on to become one of the most recognized celebrities in the United States as a publisher and attorney before his untimely demise in a plane crash in 1998.
