8:46 tribute
A sign on A Better Bail Bond Company reading 8:46 | In Memory of George Floyd
From the photographer: "On July 25, 2020, 2 months after the death of George Floyd, there were dark ominous clouds behind a tribute for him near the Municipal Court building by downtown Houston, George Floyd's hometown. The bright tribute was illuminated by the setting sun and stood in dramatic contrast to the dark storm clouds behind it. "

How Many Aren't Filmed?
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, "8 Min 46 Sec" is written with green paper, and "How Many Aren't Filmed?" is written with pink paper on a black chain link fence. A sign next to the number 8 reads "100 Black Women & Girls Killed by Police." Underneath, is a list of names.
<span>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. </span><br /><br /><span>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. </span><br /><br /><span>Additional information: </span><br /><br /><span>Library of Congress blog post </span><a href="https://blogs.loc.gov/loc/2022/01/protest-preserved-signs-from-d-c-s-black-lives-matter-fence/">"Protest Preserved: Signs from D.C.'s Black Lives Matter Memorial Fence" </a><br /><br /><span>D.C.
