On May 25th, 2020, George Floyd, a 46-year old black male was killed in Minneapolis, Minnesota by a police officer who held his knee on Floyd's neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds until he was no longer breathing.
A video recording of this event went viral. And the world reacted. An all too familiar movement resurfaced and the shock, pain, and anger reverberated not just through the U.S. but the world. People took to the streets to protest, to be heard, to enact change.
This photography exhibition by Joshua Edmonds shares just a fragment of that reaction that took place in Columbus, Ohio the following days after George Floyd's death.
Through marching, through art, through protest, community members came together to let their voices be heard as one. To echo the same message being shared around the world: BLACK LIVES MATTER.
