A digital, black-and-white image of Kaylah Brown addressing a crowd of protesters at a Black Lives Matter protest in Century City, California. The image was taken by Tommy Oliver during the protests that followed the death of George Floyd. Brown is depicted just right of center, addressing a crowd of protesters. She is shown from the waist up, standing above the crowd, and turned in three quarters pose towards left edge of the photograph. Her chin is lifted, and she is looking into the distance to the left. She is speaking into a handheld microphone in her proper right hand. The microphone is attached to a bullhorn that she is holding above her head with her proper left hand. She is wearing a black track jacket with three, white, racing stripe bands around the upper bicep of her proper left arm and has pulled her black and white bandana under her chin.
