These 30 Pics Won Pulitzer Prize For Photography And Not Without A Reason

This rescuer was incredibly brave. He risked getting electrocuted himself trying to save the other man.

Co-worker saves a life, God Bless a good man !!!

Wow! Amazing story- great image!

Wonderful coworker response!❤️

Not exactly a safe place of work... I hope he was all right.

Additional facts: The photographer would be assassinated four years later on his trip back to Phnom Penh by Khmer soldiers. It is true he shared money with the family in this photo. When he returned to check on them all were still alive. Because it may be difficult to tell the individuals are a mother, grandmother (often mistaken as a child), two children and an infant.

All to often people seem to forget no matter what you look like, where you are born, we are all human beings

That was an US operation. (I had to google it)

This pains me. Especially because I take so much for granted. God bless the survivor and their spirit@

Having my own four month old baby I now know without any shadow of a doubt I would do everything and anything n my power to protect him from harm. This mother is a badass true hero 💪💪💪🙏❤️.

Remember when American police officers weren't all dressed and armed like they were patrolling downtown Fallujah?

We need more of that today.

There are still cops like this one. One helped me get up after I fell trying to get a piece of steel off the road. He had Glock 17 in his holster instead of a S&W Model 10. I am 75 years older than the kid in the picture. Every cop I ever met treated me about the same as I treated them. I avoid riots, demstrations, and other dangerous places.

This is so very sweet

Hey let me help you, this is not in Caracas, this picture was take In Puerto Cabello city where I was born which is around 3 hours from Caracas

Lord, there has been, and continues to be, such horror in this world--I guess there is solace, and love, and that's all that matters, in the end.

The love of humanity in a terrifying situation.

This pictures is so sad.

Wow just wow ...

I'm old enough to remember this picture when it was first published. I was a girl a little older than her and had nightmares about it for days. I think this picture was when a lot of Americans started saying "enough". What a useless, horrifying war.

I remember seeing this picture in a book when I was little. One of the most frightening pictures ever taken, even when you don't know the story behind it.

This picture seems like a thousand years ago. She's 57 years old now and can teach us all a lesson in grace and forgiveness. Short but powerful video from a year ago here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?reload=9&v=SWH2Vi0PcoI

There was an article in Time magazine about how some doctors in the US saw this picture and organized a medical team to go to South Vietnam and treat children who were victims of napalming. They raised several million dollars, bought a great deal of equipment and medications, got many doctors and nurses to take a leave of absence and go to Vietnam. They were going to set up a hospital and when they got there, there were very, very few victims. They left, leaving behind the meds. They treated no one.

This is painful to see, hope these children , eventually had a better life, I am sure they had nightmares, for a very long time !!!

The little girl... :-( <3

Mrs. King, a beautiful lady, and well composed in her grief, the loss of a great man !!!
