The image shows different individuals raising their hands up. Some are older, younger, black, white, and other races. Most of them are not smiling and most of the individuals are looking directly into the camera.

As you can see, they are all wearing dark or black attire. The dark clothing represents the seriousness and darkness of the state America’s relationship between it’s minority citizens and the law. Putting one’s hands up is a way to surrender or show that there is no harm intended. The individuals in the photo are of different races which creates an even more powerful message because it shows that not only African- Americans are concerned about the killings and mistreatment of the nation’s minority groups.
