Journalists and photographers from the Associated Press have captured some momentous occasions in history, and earlier this year the newswire decided to launch a new online platform to showcase just some of that content, and the surrounding stories.

It began with the 50th anniversary of the day 'the burning monk' Thich Quang Duc, set fire to himself in protest in June 1963.
