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, color image of two unidentified protesters participating in the All Black Lives Matter march in Hollywood, California. The image was taken by Tommy Oliver during the protests that followed the death of George Floyd. The two protesters are standing side-by-side, facing the viewer, holding their respective protest signs above their heads. The protester on the left is holding up a black sign accented with rainbow colors along the edges, attached to a small wooden stake at the bottom. The sign has large, white, handwritten text on the front that reads [BLACK / TRANS / LIVES / MATTER]. To the left of the text is a white outlined illustration of a black power fist held upright. The protester is holding the stake with their proper left hand. Their proper right hand is resting at their side, holding a cell phone.
