This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.
A digital, black-and-white image of an unidentified female protester at a Black Lives Matter - Los Angeles protest against District Attorney Jackie Lacey in Downtown Los Angeles, California. The image was taken by Tommy Oliver during the protests that followed the death of George Floyd. The woman is at the center of a group of seated protesters. She is centrally depicted, facing the viewer, with a serious expression on her face. She is looking up and off into the distance towards the right. She is wearing a black, short sleeve, T-shirt with obscured text on the front, and a floral patterned bandana headband over her forehead. Her braids are pulled up into a high ponytail that drapes over her shoulders. She is surrounded by other protesters, most of whom are wearing face masks.
