- Coverage
- H Street NW and 16th Street NW, Washington, DC, USA
- Description
- The Black Lives Matter Memorial Fence with protest signs and art. A large banner reading Black Lives Matter in block letters dominates the area that would normally afford an unobstructed view of the White House. There is a yellow wreath situated on top of this banner. The fence is covered with protest signs on cardboard, neon pasteboard, and paper. A wide angle view shows the expanse of the fence. Detailed views show examples of protest signs and art that appeared on the fence. This includes portraits of Emmett Till and Trayvon Martin. Examples of textual signs are "If Covid 19 is a virus, trump is a plague," "If you're not standing with us you're against us / your silence is deafening," "Am I next?," and "BLM."
The White House and Washington Monument are visible in the background. - Rights
