Manual of Style/Images says that a "biography should lead with a portrait photograph of the subject alone". It also says we should select "the type of image used for similar purposes in high-quality reference works". Established practice in Wikipedia biographies of activists and politicians known as orators is to select a lead or infobox photo that is a neutral portrait photo instead of a candid action photo taken while the subject is speaking to a crowd. Take a look at Theodore Roosevelt, Leon Trotsky, Barbara Jordan, Joseph Goebbels, Eugene V. Debs, Mao Zedong, Charles Coughlin, Margaret Thatcher, Malcolm X, Huey Long, Benito Mussolini, Theodore G. Bilbo, Malala Yousafzai, Adolph Hitler, Shirley Chisholm, Betty Friedan, Nellie McClung, Vladimir Lenin, Pol Pot, Winston Churchill, Idi Amin and Daniel Patrick Moynihan. Look on Wikipedia where none of these articles features a candid lead image of the orator actually orating. All are portrait photos. If you look at other "high quality reference works", you will find the same thing. The current photo is consistent with the practice in other biographies of activists and orators.
