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 Michael B. Jordan and Kendrick Sampson with a crowd of protesters in a Black Lives Matter protest in Beverly Hills, California. The image was taken by Tommy Oliver during the protests that followed the death of George Floyd. Both Sampson and Jordan are facing the viewer and are marching within a group of tightly packed protesters. Sampson, pictured slightly blurred in the right foreground, is shown from the chest up, speaking into a handheld microphone attached to a bullhorn. He is holding the bullhorn upright on his proper right shoulder while speaking into the microphone in his proper left hand. He is wearing a black T-shirt with white text on the chest that reads [BLD / PWR]. He is also wearing a black knit cap and a black face mask with the white piping that has been pulled down and is resting on his collarbone.
