2017 Women’s March, DC
Portraits and reportage coverage of the historic Women’s March on Washington, DC, January 2017.
Photographing the Women’s March was a radicalizing experience. I stood in awe while interviewing Angela Davis and Gloria Steinham, matriarchs of the movement on whose shoulders we stand. I perched on an overpass above the heaving crowd of marchers and howled from my depths; they greeted me with powerful fury in return. The mothers of the Black Lives Matter movement took the stage to call their children’s names and hear them echoed back in a guttural roar that shook the very air itself. I looked across the pit of (mostly male) photographers, every one of us photographing as tears poured down our cheeks. It was a moment in a movement that began long before us and will continue long after us. So we continue to fight.
