Participating in the Movement to Abolish Racism

Watching the class of 2020 graduation into the Black Lives Matter revolution has inspired me in ways I was not expecting. It hs been uplifting and heartwarming to see the inclusion of youths of all colors and genders participating. This is the movement in the set: The new crew. The young people bringing it to the street to abolish racism are carrying that torch and flame.

Abolish Racism car shrine at City Hall.

I started shooting protests in Los Angeles in 2008. It was a natural evolution from filming and photographing homelessness on Skid Row in Los Angeles. You can’t film poverty without filming systemic, institutionalized racism. It’s the same thing.
