A digital, black-and-white image of Michael B. Jordan speaking at a Black Lives Matter - Los Angeles protest in Century City, California.

He is shown from the waist up, standing above the crowd, turned in three quarters pose, and facing the left edge of the photograph. He is speaking into a microphone in his proper right hand as he looks out over the crowd. He is wearing a black, short sleeve T-shirt, black leather gloves, and a necklace with a metal pendant over his chest. The crowd of protesters surrounding Jordan, watching him speak, are all wearing face masks or other types of face coverings.
