The protests aren’t going anywhere. Demonstrations in New York have entered their fourth week following the police killing of George Floyd, and the momentum on the streets looks like it may last all summer. On Sunday — the day that over 15,000 people marched in Brooklyn to celebrate and defend black trans lives — photographer Mark Clennon captured protests in Manhattan, as marchers walked from Trump Tower to African Square in Harlem. Protesters continue to get results: On Monday, the NYPD announced it would disband its 600-officer plainclothes anti-crime unit responsible for an alarming number of police shootings. Below are some of Clennon’s scenes from Sunday’s march.
