I am fortunate to live in Oakland, California, a very diverse city with a population of close to a half million people. Last Sunday, June 7th, along with the peaceful protests by teens and adults, there was a protest scheduled for families with young children. As it was gathering across the street from my apartment, and families were practicing good social distancing, I grabbed my camera and did some photo journaling.
It’s good to see the peaceful side of things when most media and certain politiicans emphasize the less than peaceful at every opportunity.
Indeed. The protests have been overwhelmingly peaceful. But as you say, the peaceful, légitiment protests don’t fit the narrative in some quarters.
