On June 6, 2020, I learned - through Twitter - of a march that would start in Union Square and end in Washington Square Park. Naturally, history was being made in close proximity so grabbing my cameras, two masks on top of each other and a bottle of water, off I went to wait for it to arrive at the arch.
So here are the photographs that I made during the event. Higher resolution/size can be viewed here.
The emotions during this protest were so electric, so intense and so personal to the protesters that I felt the air vibrating. I had to steady my hands to photograph the above image.
