#MyNYPDDespite the peaceful nature of the movement, NYPD eventually began to agitate the crowd into physical confrontation between authority and citizenry. A policeman threw Jameel back onto the sidewalk after he disobeyed orders to remain out of the street, a tactic purposely used by organizers to gain attention from bystanders and encourage them to join the march. / Harlem, NY, 2013
Generations of Rage In MotionA young Black student began to grow incredibly impatient with the same policeman who threw a protester, not afraid of law enforcement and fed up with being intimidated, stood toe to toe with the authority figure in a stare down that was bound to end in physical altercation. Fellow protesters held him back and allowed him to verbally confront his offender, understanding the complexes created by young Black men in regards to their masculinity and powerlessness against police. / Harlem, NY, 2013
What Will Happen To Black Boys?The crowd consisted of a mixed generational audience, ranging from Harlamites, those of out of state, members of political activist organizations, young people, social justice organizers, reporters, photographers, parents, students, Black, White, Asian, Biracial and many other Americans. The message was clear that action had to be taken by all persons for justice to prevail. / Harlem, NY, 2013
We Are All TrayvonThe Revolutionary Community Party USA handed out many documents and literature on the history of racial violence and the national campaign against the American justice system that has criminalized a whole generation of people for centuries. Proclaiming the statement, "We are ALL Trayvon Martin" reaffirmed the concept that no one was exempt from injustice, despite the inalienable rights we all have as American citizens. / Harlem, NY, 2013
Holler For JusticeA father began chanting various phrases articulating his discontent about the police and their disregard for young Black youth in protecting them on a daily basis, claiming their presence during the rally was an emblem of corruption, hate and fear. Others joined in with his bold chants - both young and older generations - uniting their voices in their 'holler for justice.' / Harlem, NY, 2013
A People United Will Never Be DefeatedWalking through the historic neighborhoods of Harlem, I witnessed older residents join in solidarity - either passively or actively - showcasing support by raising fists, shouting along to chants created by youth and adult protesters, and even encouraging younger bystanders to join in the march. / Harlem, NY, 2013

Proximity to PowerA reporter photographs a Black man yelling out of his window, changing the context of the moment by positioning himself at a skewed angle and portraying the scene as "chaotic", an oversaturated element in mainstream media coverage in response to the emergence of contemporary social movements against police brutality. / Ferguson, MO, 2014

What Will Happen To Our Black Youth?Before Gordon Parks passed away in 2009, he asked himself, "What will happen to Black boys? If they don't have it better than I did roaming the streets, what will happen to our children?" This is my response to his inquiry - continue to fight for justice. / Staten Island, NY, 2016
#WeCantBreatheA protester holds a sign with the infamous phrase, "We Can't Breathe," a variation of the last words before Eric Garner was murdered. / Staten Island, NY, 2016
