Demonstrators Call for Police Accountability at Kum Nam Kim Demonstration

Demonstrators Call for Police Accountability at Kum Nam Kim Demonstration

In the center of the frame, two protestors march in a single file line while brandishing signs during a CAAAV demonstration organized in front of the 20th precinct to demand 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] The visible signs read, from left-to-right, "Say No to Police Brutality," and "You Can't Cover Up Anti-Asian Violence." Three other demonstrators walk in the background, and another individual's arm appears in the far left of the frame.
