A digital, black-and-white image of Wakiesha Wilson’s mother, Lisa Hines, and an unidentified female protester standing in a crowd of protesters and photographers at a Black Lives Matter - Los Angeles protest against District Attorney Jackie Lacey in Downtown Los Angeles, California. The image was taken by Tommy Oliver during the protests that followed the death of George Floyd. The woman on the right is physically supporting Hines on the left. Both women are depicted from the waist up. The woman on the right has her back to the viewer and is facing Hines. Her proper right arm is supporting Hines’ back. She is wearing a light tone, short-sleeve T-shirt with a plain back. Her braided hair is pulled up into a high ponytail. She is also wearing a cloth face mask over her nose and mouth and has a dark purse strap over her proper left shoulder.
