Protest Portraits, Part III

The thing that is most striking to me about this project is how strong and determined people in my community are. I also love seeing our police officers and community members stand together against racism. This movement has not been without adversity, even in our small community. Organizers and participants have received many nasty comments on social media, and have dealt with other signs of disapproval, or even hatred. Thank you to everyone who waited in a long line and trusted me to create your Protest Portrait. I will continue to stand with you.
