2020 – June part 3

We took a trip downtown.

It was after one of the days they had a march through downtown Portland. We wanted to see the murals that all of this heartbreak had been causing.

This is raw emotion.

Here is a list of some people: Tamir Rice, Shantel Davis, Emmett Till, Sandra Bland, Ahmaud Arbery, Korryn Gaines – and there are so many countless others.

Black Lives Matter. We shouldn’t even have to say that they do because it should be obvious – unfortunately, it is anything but.

The “I Can’t Breathe” Mural – downtown Portland, in front of the Apple Store.

just Pray
