Demonstrator Holds Anti-Racism Sign at Kum Nam Kim Demonstration.
description: A young protestor wearing glasses carries a sign that reads "No racism, Stop Anti-Asian Violence 24 hours everyday," while participating in a demonstration demanding justice for Kum Nam Kim—a Korean street vendor on the Upper West Side who was brutalized and arrested by police on August 3, 1993, after protesting an unfair parking ticket.[1] Two other demonstrators stand to the right of the frame, and one marches in the foreground on the left side. In the background, a mustached police officer stands with their arms crossed while surveilling the demonstrators. 1. “Upper West Side Manhattan”.
