Seeda_Boo is correct. The photo is extremely famous, along with other photos from the CRM. If you enjoy pictorial histories, I suggest reading Seeing through Race by Martin Berger. Below is a link to the book on Amazon.

There are of course countless of iconic photos of the civil rights movement. If you are interested in the subject, I would suggest Berger's Seeing Through Race as an entry point to the the of photography within the Civil Rights movement, and more importantly, its affect. Take a look at the introduction (which you can do on Amazon without purchasing the book) to see some of the photos that Berger points to as iconic. Powerful images. I would suggest reading his analysis so maybe you and your partner can have a discussion about it as well!
Good luck, enjoy your holidays.
