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, black-and-white image of an unidentified 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 protester is shown from the shoulders up, turned slightly towards the right edge of the image and looking directly at the viewer. They wear a medium tone T-shirt, a fabric flat cap, aviator-style glasses, and a plaid face mask with block text along the proper right top edge of the mask that reads [USC]. The other protesters surrounding them are blurred.
