BLM Protestors at CNN Building

What sort of object is this: text story, photograph, video, audio interview, screenshot, drawing, meme, etc.?

Photograph I found on CNN’s website

Tell us a story; share your experience. Describe what the object or story you've uploaded says about the pandemic, and/or why what you've submitted is important to you.

During the protests a few months back, I remember seeing this picture spread all around twitter uncensored and I remember thinking “these kids are going to be arrested because no one is protecting them’. And so I felt it was only fitting that this be the photo I choose for this assignment.

Use one-word hashtags (separated by commas) to describe your story. For example: Where did it originate? How does this object make you feel? How does this object relate to the pandemic?
