Minamata protestors at the gates of the Chisso factory. Taken by W. Eugene Smith.

I believe this image qualifies as fair use because:

the photograph succinctly illustrates a protest against the Chisso corporation over Minamata disease
the historic photograph of the protest cannot be reproduced
the image is of low resolution and will not damage the copyright value of the original photograph
