Source catalog description

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 a large mass of protesters at a Black Lives Matter - Los Angeles protest against District Attorney Jackie Lacey at Grand Park in Downtown Los Angeles, California. The image was taken by Tommy Oliver during the protests that followed the death of George Floyd. Taken from the steps of City Hall, the image looks down at the crowd and is filled with protesters. Many of the protesters are wearing face masks or other protective face coverings and carrying raised protest signs. In the right midground is a large banner that is spread out in a horizontal orientation amongst the protesters. A large white sign with handwritten dark text in the right foreground, reads [“A.J.” / WEBER / ANTHONY / WE[BER?]]. The top text is framed on either side with indistinct images.
