Protest signs and artwork on the Black Lives Matter Memorial Fence, Date: 25 September 2020
Protest signs and posters on the Black Lives Matter Memorial Fence, located on the north side of Lafayette Park in Washington D.C.
These photos capture signs with text that read "If you aren't Anti-Racist You are Complicit!", "White silence fuels Domestic Terrorism", "Justice for Breonna", "Black Lives Matters".
A close up on a sticker on an orange construction sign says "Stop Killing Black People". Further posters that read "Our Black Lives Matter", "Say Her Name" "Know Justice Know Peace" and other text are on posters.
There are further posters that have been spray painted over with black paint as well as a raised fist and more text on surrounding pages.
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.
