Public Story
Fighting back
Summary
This is a completed project that documented the Historic Rally of the Black Lives Matter movement in Paris, at the Place de la République, on June 13th, 2020.
Irrespective of our social background, our skin color, race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, we marched to demand race equality and equality of opportunities.
French Citizens joined the Black Lives Matter Movement to make known their exhaustion. Exhaustion in the face of Public Authorities that don’t know recognize us as children of the Republic, because we are different. So we went to see Marianne, and we gathered under her values: Liberté, Egalité et Fraternité (Liberty, Equality and Fraternity), and we yelled as loud as our strengths allowed us to, we yelled our exhaustion.
It was by any means necessary that we shine our light in the face of fear and adversity to reclaim our power and what is ours. Fear is a greedy force that consume anyone that doesn't what light is, or who is familiar of the darkness. When we shine our light, we give permission to others to do exactly the same.
