This Image was taken as part of my Documentary project where I looked at the diversity of Grey's Monument, which takes up a 50ft sqaure area in Newcastle Upon Tyne.
On a rather cool and sunny Sunday morning, well over 100 individuals arrived at Willowbrook High School in the Chicago suburb of Villa Park. They gathered in the parking lot to listen to citizens of the community, school staff, students, alumni and activists speak out against perceived injustice and make an appeal for a lasting committment to ending the status quo that in their view disproportionately harms African-Americans and their communities. Attendees were also encouraged to continue to educate themselves on institutional racism, to speak out against injustice in their respective family and friend circles, and to commit to voting in the upcoming elections, with an emphasis on making sure to vote in the local races that so often determine what types of policies are implemented close to home. Eight minutes and forty-six seconds of silence were observed, with many taking a knee, in remembrance of George Floyd. A short march and protest was then commenced around the local residential area before returning back to the high school. This event was one example of the increasing number of local rallies in recent weeks in the Chicagoland suburbs.

These guys are just sooooo tolerant!
This group protest and preach every year against a high Anglican church procession.
It is such a wonderfully bizarre event to see all the Anglo-catholic high churchers processing with all their robes and finery with these guys haranguing them on the street corner.
It got so heated a few years ago that it lead to a (near) punch-up.

This is a symbolic mark of protest against the new Beta change which Flickr proposes to force upon all users ..
If you wish to make protest, then please only upload a " Black " picture on the 8th December
*** This is available for download should you wish.
With the new platform Beta Team Flickr intend to make further changes that will limit severely the exchanges between users:
1 - There will be no white space below the photo for description, comments or invitations to groups
2 - Difficult to write a comment that contains more than 3 words
3 - We can not see who supports our pics
4 - We can not see in which groups the photo appears
5 - The images of the award will not be visible
6 - The visits will no longer be visible. The latter will only appear in Recent Activity, others will be lost.
7 - For Admin it will become impossible to manage groups so many will close.
8 - Our descriptions, including quotes, links to YouTube or other sites will be hidden
( translated from Italian )
Changes should not delete/destroy/ruin the very factors which caused us to join flickr in the first place..
etc.
(quoted from another user-but lots of info can be found if you search Flickr Black Day)
In Brasilia, more than 200 protesters managed to get onto the roof of the National Congress building. After negotiations with police, the crowd agreed to leave. Later, youths formed a human chain around the building.
Protests and riots sprung up across the U.S. this week following the death of George Floyd, a black man suffocated by a police officer during an arrest in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on Monday.
Around 7 p.m., a protest began in Oklahoma City at the intersection of NW 23rd & Classen. Chants of "NO JUSTICE. NO PEACE." filled the air as hundreds of protesters circled the road to block traffic. Dozens of police officers arrived. Arrests were made. I took as many photos as I could.
Much of the early portion of the protest was peaceful. I couldn't see anyone fighting until police arrived to clear the intersection. Around 9 p.m., protesters started marching toward toward the Plaza District and eventually marched to the Oklahoma City Police Department Headquarters, 700 Colcord, and eventually dispersed from the area at about midnight.
