A digital, black-and-white image of Kendrick Sampson speaking at a Black Lives Matter protest in Beverly Hills, California. The image was taken by Tommy Oliver during the protests that followed the death of George Floyd. The close-up of Sampson depicts him from the chest up, facing the viewer, and looking into the distance. He is speaking into a bullhorn with a handheld microphone. The bullhorn is resting in an upright position on his proper right shoulder and he is speaking into the attached microphone in his proper left hand. He is wearing a black skullcap and a black T-shirt with white text on the front that reads [BLD / PWR]. He also has a black face mask with white piping around the edges, pulled down and resting on the top of his collarbone. In the background is a light tone building and a leafy tree.
