          Thích Quảng Đức (1897 – 11 June 1963) was a Vietnamese Buddhistmonk. He was born in Hội Khánh, French Indochina. He committed suicide by burning himself to death while sitting in a street in Saigon.[2] He was protesting the South Vietnam's government and Catholic president Ngô Đình Diệm's persecution of Buddhists.

          Pictures of him burning spread around the world, and made more people know about the Buddhist crisis.

          Because of Quảng Đức's protest, Diệm said that he was going to change how the government acted towards Buddhists.
