A black-and-white digital photograph by Devin Allen of an unidentified Black Lives Matter protestor in Baltimore, Maryland.

In his left hand he holds the handle of a protest sign that lays on the sidewalk to his left. The sign has the words "BLACK / LIVES / MATTER" printed in black text and repeated once. The man wears a black t-shirt with a screen-printed image that reads "KNOW YOUR / RIGHTS / COP WATCH / PEOPLE'S POWER / ASSEMBLY". A crowd of people with raised fists is printed between the lines of the text "RIGHTS" and "COP WATCH." 92.
