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 man addressing a crowd of protesters 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 shown in full length on the left side of the image, standing in profile, facing a crowd of protesters. The speaker and protesters are in the middle of a city street with a double line running down the center. The protesters are mostly seated on the street in a semicircle around the speaker. Towards the back of the crowd there are also some standing protesters. Almost all the protesters are wearing face masks, bandanas, or other types of protective face coverings.
