Image contains two equal panels with a photo in each. On the right-hand side, there is a photo of a monument to the Venerable Thich Quảng Đức. The monument consists of a stone carving of a monk with flames surrounding him. In the background, there is a mural depicting the persecution of buddhists by the past Vietnamese government. On the left-hand side, there is a photo of the self-immolation of Thich Quảng Đức, which was taken in 1963 by Malcolm Browne. The black and white photo shows a monk sitting on a city street engulfed in flames. People and a vehicle are seen in the background.
