Protesters march with fists raised in the air during a demonstration for Saleem Osman
Description
A group of protesters march at a demonstration for Saleem Osman with their fists raised in the air—a typical symbol of solidarity, strength, and resistance against oppression. Beside the protesters is an NYPD officer riding a motorcycle.
On May 26, 1994, Saleem Osman, a CAAAV organizer for the Lease Drivers Coalition, was violently assaulted by police and arrested on fabricated charges. Over a hundred Asian Americans and yellow cab drivers marched from Police Plaza to Central Booking the following day in protest of this unlawful arrest.
