https://www.theguardian.com/media/2020/jun/12/capturing-the-cry-for-change-photographers-on-the-blm-protests

Here is a link to 4 different photographers pictures and stories on shooting at the BLM protests. In each image you can feel the happiness, sadness, anger, and tension involved in the atmosphere of these protests. You can hear the chants and cries by just looking at the pictures. You can see it in the expressions of the protestors, and you can hear it in the words written on the signs. Because this was all happening during mid-May quarantine, many people are wearing masks. Despite the masks you can tell how they are feeling based on their body language. These 4 photographers captured the essence of pride, anguish, anger, bravery, and other behaviors based on the subjects’ body language.
