"Sometimes a moment can change history. This one took 1/250th of a second."

On April 5, 1976, at an anti-busing rally at City Hall Plaza, Stanley Forman, a Boston Herald-American photographer, took a picture that stands as an icon of racial hatred in America. A teenager has transformed the flag into a weapon directed at the body of a black man. It is the ultimate act of desecration, performed in the year of the bicentennial in the shadows of Boston's Old State House. Titled The Soiling of Old Glory, the photograph appeared in newspapers around the country and won the Pulitzer Prize in 1977. It haunts us still.
