A black-and-white digital photograph by Devin Allen of a family at a rally or protest in Baltimore, Maryland. The father and mother are surrounded by their three children, two daughters standing in front of them and their son sitting on his father's shoulders.

His right arm is around one of his daughters and his left arm is around his wife's shoulders, with his left hand showing the peace sign. The mother has on a black tank top and jeans. The daughter at left wears a long-sleeved shirt with a butterfly printed on the front and a bow in her hair.
