The photo that I chose is about leshia Evan. In this image Evan is standing against police while protesting the shooting death of Alton Sterling, an African American man who was shot by two white policemen in Baton Rouge in Louisiana. Leshia Evan, a 35 year old nurse from Pennsylvania traveled to attend a protest in Baton Rouge on July 9,2016. The photo was taken by Jonathan Bachman in which she offers her hand to police. This photo stand up for one of the strongest images of the Human Rights movement. The  women stand alone and without any fear humanize the subject and the possible cause of black lives matter movement. The scene look like of violence but Evan seem calm, confident, and poised. The police dressed like they are up to war. Evan personality show the power of resistance. The tension in the photo is the result of deaths of many African Americans by U.S. police. In my paper I will elaborate how this image shows the status between black and white people which affects their lives. In addition, the background of the photo serves the major point that will help to understand the deepest meaning of the photo. This picture is different from Berger as he show in ways of seeing but in some point, it relate to berger thinking.
