(Both black and white images are the part of the same event.)
Answer
The person is Neil Young.The event referred to in the b/w images is the funeral of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.
Quoting Wikipedia, "According to Neil Young's biography Shakey, while on tour in the late '80s, Young and Frank "Poncho" Sampedro looked at photos in a newspaper of the Ayatollah Khomeini's body being carried to his grave. These images showed mourners burning American flags in the street, which incited fear in Poncho. Sampedro commented, "Whatever we do, we shouldn't go near the Mideast. It's probably better we just keep on rockin' in the free world." Young asked if Sampedro was using that for the basis of a song and when Sampedro said no, Young said that he would instead".
Thus came the well known song "Rockin' in the Free World"
