On May 25, 2020, George Floyd was killed by the hands of the police. It was all caught on video and streamed across the world. Protests erupted that first week and continued for months afterward. On May 29, 2020, I drove from Texas to Minneapolis, MN, to capture what would turn out to be a huge movement across the world. When I first arrived, I went to the place where Floyd was killed and proceeded to the 5th Precinct. It was there that I first photographed the protesters and the fires that had been started. This was one of the scenes toward the end of the evening before the police moved in with tear gas. I went on to cover the aftermath the next day and 17 protests across the nation.
