A digital, black-and-white image of an unidentified male protester 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 man is centrally depicted standing in the middle of a crowd of other protesters. He is facing the viewer, looking up and towards the right, into the distance. His proper right fist is raised over his head in a power stance. He is wearing a black, short sleeve T-shirt, a short metal chain with a round pendant around his neck, and a white, KN95-style mask pulled down and resting on his chin. The front half of his short dreadlocks are pulled up into a high ponytail on the top of his head. A partially obscured protester to his right is also standing with their fist raised.
