A digital, black-and-white image of two unidentified female protesters participating in a Black Lives Matter protest in Century City, California. The image was taken by Tommy Oliver during the protests that followed the death of George Floyd. The two women are standing at the front of a large group of protesters, holding protest signs in front of their torsos. Both women are depicted from the waists up, with their bodies turned slightly towards the left edge of the photograph. The woman on the left is holding a white sign with dark handwritten text that reads [I AM NOT BLACK / BUT I SEE Y[OU?] / I AM NOT BLACK / BUT / HEA[R YOU?] / I AM NOT BLACK / BUT I WILL STAND W/ [YOU?]].
