BLM Movement - Occupy H Street
Inspired by the "Occupy Wall Street" protest in NYC, protest organizers decided to set up camp on 16th Street and H St. NW. The camp was named "Occupy H St.". This area would be the backdrop for Metropolitan Police, Federal police, and military raids. This is the area that was cleared out for Trump's famous photoshoot in front of St. John's Church.
The scaffolding over the walkway on next to the Hayes-Adams Hotel on H Street provided the ultimate venue to express and promote messages that related to the protest. Protest organizer's transformed this area into a makeshift memorial/museum. I heard that all of the signage, art, and posters were collected by the Smithsonian for safe keep and will be displayed on day in one of its museums My guess is the National Museum of African American History and Culture (NMAAHC).
Tech note: I really like the way the #Power sign was backlit and waited until someone walked by it. Fortunately, this young lady was taking a video as she walked down the wall. [Honestly, I didn't realized she was taking a video until I processed this photo. All the better...]
