WASHINGTON, DC -- 6/16/20 —On a quiet day of protests at Black Lives Matter Plaza, Daraile Cunningham, of DC, cuts a Black Lives Matter design into the hair of Jamie Monroe, also of DC. The pair see the act as protest. “We’re standing for something and when we unite and put it out in our artistic way… this is how I’m part of the movement,” says Cunningham. Monroe says, “I think the the little bit of fuel he’s using will spark the flame for others. Then we can all push this thing forward.”
Day 19 of protests continue after the killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery by law enforcement and white supremacists. Civil unrest has continued for over a week throughout the country…by André Chung #_AC19686
