Untitled
1969–1970

A black and white photograph of a historical newspaper, the Daily News, with a headline about a GI shooting a child and walking away, and a subheadline about an Army photographer telling of a massacre. The accompanying image shows bodies of women and children near a road, which is a scene from the My Lai massacre during the Vietnam War. The newspaper is slightly curled at the edges, indicating it may be an archived or preserved copy.
