WE WILL RISE(BLM Protest)

2020 is a year like none-other in American history. The combination of a once in a century pandemic and unrelenting police aggression toward members of the African American community called for an immediate response. After years of unarmed Black people being shot and killed by police, George Floyd’s death in broad daylight produced a unified call for justice. Protests ensued across the world to detest the senseless murders of Black people by police. I felt it was necessary to document protests against injustices against black people in our country. The images in WE WILL RISE show a collective call that Black people be treated with respect. Young and old, black and white decry, No More Murder by those who are supposed to serve and protect… “Black Lives Matter!”
