Perspective: The protesters are dressed as their unique selves — and that’s part of their power
History is captured in a photograph and so is the pain and anger of the present.
No matter the city, the protesters look the same: eclectic, motley, fed up. They are diverse in age, gender and race. They have braids and dreadlocks. They are dressed in hijabs, muscle tanks and ripped jeans. They are adorned with elaborate tattoos and wear scholarly spectacles. They look like college students and soccer parents, the people next door and the neighbors from down the street.
The crowds chant “Black lives matter” because the world needs to be reminded of that. Some people, it seems, need to be informed of it for their very first time. To look at those old pictures, it was as if people were always dressed for that moment when the gate popped open. What is luck? When preparation meets opportunity.
