A black and white photograph of the evangelist Billy Graham, taken 11 April 1966 by staff photographer Warren K. Leffler for U.S. News and World Report, showing Graham mid gesture with his right fist raised. The image comes from the magazine's photograph collection, donated to the Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division with all rights dedicated to the public, catalogued there under digital ID ppmsc.03261. It is the portrait Wikipedia itself uses as the lead image of its Billy Graham article.
Facts
Rights and Reproduction
Reproduction and CopyrightSourced to the subject's own accountBecause the U.S. News and World Report photograph collection was donated to the Library of Congress with all rights dedicated to the public, this image carries no copyright restriction on reuse, which is very likely why it is the portrait Wikipedia itself settled on as Graham's lead image: an unrestricted, high quality photograph is simply easier for a reference work to republish than one still under a rights claim. 1 Cross-Tradition Connections
