Protest signs and artwork on the Black Lives Matter Memorial Fence, Date: 09 June 2020
Protest signs and posters on the Black Lives Matter Memorial Fence, located on the north side of Lafayette Park in Washington D.C.
In these images, some signs focus on text and were created using marker on white or neon posterboard or cardboard. A portrait of Breonna Taylor hangs near the top of the fence. There are mylar balloons with the numbers "27" to commemorate Taylor's birthday, which would have been four days before this photograph was taken. There are also pieces of cloth and small crosses with names on them attached to the fence. -
