Description
A black-and-white digital photograph by Devin Allen of a man protesting with his fist raised in a crowd at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. The man's face is at the far right foreground, with his right hand raised in a fist at the center of the frame. He wears a dark-colored suit jacket and white dress shirt. Other protestors' raised fists can be seen on either side of the man and in the background, all out of focus. A sign with black printed text reading "RACISM IS / DESTROYING / AMERIKKKA" is out of focus and partially out of frame in the left background.
