18th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest The American Experience
Protestor crying during Black Lives Matter speech, NYC
At this moment, organizers stopped and had everyone - all 8,000 protestors - take a knee. They read the names of lives taken by the police, and the crowd repeated each name in unison. Then the famous words of MLK's "I have a dream" echoed over Manhattan. That's when I noticed the woman sitting behind me. I think she best expressed the emotion of the moment.
