[edit] I claim fair use on these grounds...

The image linked here is claimed to be used under fair use as:

it is a historically significant photo of a famous individual or event or structure;
it is of much lower resolution than the original (copies and blowups made from it will be of very inferior quality);
the photo is only being used for informational purposes;
Its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because it shows the subject of this article and how the event depicted was very historically significant to the general public. [2]
