Protestors take to the streets of Brooklyn for a sixth day of protests across the city demanding justice for the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis in May 2020
Photojournalist Juan Arredondo, a 2019 Nieman Fellow, who covered race protests in New York City this summer:

“This scene resonated with me because I thought, what a moment to be growing up as a Black boy. Right now, to be proud. How is he going to remember this moment and what’s his future going to be like? You can feel that he wants to be part of the moment. Later, the sister, who's right next to him, also stood up on top of the car. I spoke to the mom and she was very proud.”
