Woman speaks at memorial for Yong Xin Huang

Description

Two women stand in front of a large banner that says "Yong Xin Huang, July 17, 1978 - March 24, 1995, Unjustly Killed by the Police." The banner hangs on a chain link fence. One woman holds a pad of paper and an electronic bullhorn so that the second woman can speak into the mouthpiece.
