Black Lives Matter rallies documented across the United States
Sophie Moten | Staff Photographer
Hatchet photographers documented Black Lives Matter rallies from May to August across the nation.
After the murder of George Floyd by a Minneapolis police officer three months ago – and acts of police violence ensued – protests have erupted across America in support of the Black Lives Matter movement.
Demonstrators brought attention to the several Black lives lost to police brutality, demanded budget reforms in police departments and highlighted other inequalities in areas, like the health care system and education. The rallies culminated in a March on Washington late last month, where thousands of people flocked to the National Mall on the anniversary of Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech, and the protests have continued into the past couple of weeks.
