People are still just naming photos of events that changed the world, not photos that changed the world.
I can't say for sure if it changed the whole world, though I have heard it argued... The photos (and video) from Birmingham, Alabama, with the cops beating the crap out of civil rights demonstrators, mostly Black, and shooting fire hoses at them, and releasing dogs on them, and all that violence from so-called 'respected authorities, really got to people at least in this country, and showed how Jim Crow really worked. I think just like the photos from Vietnam helped turned people against the war, these images from the south really drove American racism home for White America and they understood what the protests were all about.
Also honorable mention: the Black Power salute at the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City and the connection it had to the other struggles around the globe in 1968
