The Most Powerful Images from the ‘Black Lives Matter’ Protests

 

Every since the unfortunate deaths of Michael Brown and Eric Garner happened in the hands of law enforcement, powerful images have been emerging from all over the country to express the level of anger that is erupting in many communities.

Protests have taken place in NYC, LA, Denver, Chicago, Washington, and Boston. Protesters organize “die-ins,” stop traffic, and hold signs.

Many people have come out to show their support for the “Black Lives Matter” movement, and we have the powerful images to prove it.
