There is a far away shot of a section of the BLM memorial fence that has the Washington Monument in the background.

There are multiple pictures of Black Americans who lost their lives to police brutality and multiple posters next to these photographs which read "Black Lives Matter", "No Justice No Fourth", and "#BlackVotersMatter. Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived 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.
