This image is powerful because it shows black women and mothers protesting peacefully for a cause. The black women and mothers in this photo are holding orange and teal poster boards. The women are protesting in what looks to be a city. The backdrop of this image shows many buildings. The black woman on the left is holding a orange sign that has black letters in all caps . The poster reads  “Is my son next?” The word next is highlighted to emphasize that her son could possibly be next to fall to a system that suppose to protect every citizen in America. If you pay close attention to the sign you will see a peace sign on the upper right area of the poster. This peace sign illustrates that that this woman wants civil peace. Also on the poster board you see a heart that had a zig – zag line right down the middle. If you notice the lady’s expressions she looks like someone said something about her poster and she was flabbergasted at was said. The lady on the right is holding a teal poster with black letters in all caps.The poster reads “#Black lives matter”. The # (hashtag) is highlighted. Hashtags are a big social media search tag. You can put a # sign in front any subject and it will show you every post about that subject that was used on that social media page. The women are also being video tapped by a heavy set white male with a high-profile camera.
