About the "March on Manhattan" from David Hill Gallery
Following the brutal killing of George Floyd on May 25th, 2020, demonstrations took place worldwide. People spilled onto the streets to express their frustration and disgust: Another Black body murdered by police in America. “Enough is enough", they shouted. "No Justice. No Peace." These global demonstrations led to some truly remarkable photographs being captured. One, by New York-based photographer Aria Isadora, was impossible to forget. On June 4th Isadora captured a group of masked and suited Black Americans of Alpha Phi Alpha marching with urgent purpose across Brooklyn Bridge – right fists clenched and raised, towards Manhattan to make their protest heard. Evoking the powerful images of the 60s Civil Rights Movement captured by Gordon Parks and Ernest Withers, Isadora's image distils the spirit of this year's protests.
