Give Us Our Roses
On the bottom half of the sign, a Black person wearing a rainbow jacket and holding a megaphone says, "GIVE US OUR ROSES WHILE WE'RE STILL HERE." On the top half of the sign, roses are a backdrop to the outline of a city. In the background are Black individuals, in all white outfits. In the middle of the sign text reads "#BLACKTRANSLIVESMATTER."

The Black Lives Matter Memorial fence was a temporary chainlink fence installed in the area north of Lafayette Park and the White House from June 2, 2020, until January 30, 2021. The fence prevented public access to the area, and it also served as an important site of protest and self-expression.
Activist Nadine Seiler played a crucial role in protecting and caring for the fence, along with Karen Irwin and other activists in a loosely-formed group informally known as the "Guardians of the Fence." Nadine Seiler and Aliza Leventhal systematically documented the fence over the course of months, and Seiler became the de facto curator of the fence.
