I will be posting a series of photos recounting the historic protests in Washington DC that gripped and polarized the country. I will be begin with the protest that erupted after the death of George Floyd.
The next week after the after the massive protest on May 31, 2020 I was in Arlington, VA just across the river from Washington DC. I felt the gravity of DC pulling me and my curiosity got the best of me. I watched the melee unfold on the local news the prior weekend and wanted to see with my own two eyes what the area looked like. However, I was very, very concerned about catching COVID because we were right in the middle of a pandemic and there was no vaccine at that time.
But I felt the need to document what I could so that I could share the story from a local's eyes.
So I eased into DC starting in Georgetown - the popular shopping and night life area, not the mention the prestigious university. This photo shows a restaurant boarded up with BLM posters on it hoping to ward off any destruction. Shades of the protests and destruction that happened on U St NW Washington DC after the murder of Dr. Martin Luther King in April of 1968.
History repeats.

This is a bit of guerrilla art on Queen Anne, incomplete because the artists were detained by the cops for "gang graffiti".
Because the SPD doesn't have bad enough optics already?
On its last journey ever in service from Grütschalp, Bergbahn Lauterbrunnen–Mürren (BLM) class Be 4/4 number 23 has just arrived in Mürren.
This is a mural painted by an artist named Chris Rogers to show solidarity for the Black Lives Matter movement. Making references to some controversial and iconic figures such as Eric Garner, Breonna Taylor, and Colin Kaepernick. It is located right outside of the Native Hostel and Bar & Cafe. It is approximately 2.5 miles away from my apartment. The topic of Black Lives Matter doesn't come up as often in my daily personal conversations anymore, but I do occasionally discuss it in details with my friends.

The 2015 Soda Fire burned nearly 280,000 acres in southwest Idaho and southeast Oregon, including nearly 200,000 acres of sage-grouse habitat, portions of 41 grazing allotments, three wild horse management areas, and a popular motorized and non-motorized recreation area. Due to the location of the fire and its effect on federal, state and private lands, a collaborative approach was taken to assess values at risk within the entire burned area. The Soda Fire Emergency Stabilization and Rehabilitation (ESR) plan was the first large scale fire to be planned and implemented following the release of Secretarial Order 3336 – Rangeland Fire Prevention, Management and Restoration.
The collaborative concept was carried forward with the development and implementation of the ESR effort. This level of collaboration which involved US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS), Idaho Department of Lands (IDL), Idaho Department of Fish & Game (IDFG) and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) is not typical of ESR efforts, but has been successful and supported. The Record of Decision was issued by the Boise and Vale Districts on October 21. The plan identified treatments to begin stabilizing the burned area, promote the recovery of native communities, increase perennial grasses, reduce invasive annual species, and restore shrubs and forbs to take the first steps toward the recovery of habitat for the greater sage-grouse. BLM continues to work with our partners through monitoring,
the development of grazing rest and resumption decisions, and adaptive management.
Black Lives Matter, people.
I recommend checking out what people have done on the chain link fence around the White House, where a very scared man is living.
Richmond, Va / USA - August 8th, 2020: A young man sits and looks at the vandalized Robert E. Lee statue on Monument Avenue after protests at the new Marcus David Peters Circle. The Confederate statues have been a controversial issue for years and became a visual symbol in the Richmond George Floyd Protests in the summer of 2020.
In the summer of 2016, the BLM Burns District continued its partnership with the University of Oregon Museum of Natural and Cultural History and the Oregon Archaeological Society and conducted archaeological excavations at the Rimrock Draw Rockshelter site in southeastern Oregon.
The site, discovered in 2009 by BLM Archaeologist Scott Thomas, has hosted archaeology field schools since 2011. In 2015, it became internationally known after archaeologists found a small stone tool under a layer of volcanic ash from a volcanic eruption about 15,800 years ago.
This tool suggests one of the oldest known human occupations in the western United States.
The 2016 excavations encountered significant rock and boulder debris, resulting from at least two occasions of portions of the rock wall calving or breaking off – probably around 8,000 and 10,000 years ago. These rocks limited access to the ground beneath them, and many were removed only after drilling and splitting reduced them to removeable sizes.
In coordination with the BLM’s Scott Thomas, Dr. Patrick O’Grady with the University of Oregon Museum of Natural and Cultural History directed excavations for the fifth year in 2016, and Jordan Pratt, graduate student at Texas A&M University, served as the excavation’s site supervisor. Volunteers from the Oregon Archaeological Society, students from the University of Oregon, and archaeologists from the BLM conducted the excavations.

I found no shortage of stores downtown who support the Black Lives Matter cause. This one is very low key; it took me a minute to realize what the initials meant.
I've always liked that feather!
