Title
Demonstrator Carries "Stop Police Brutality" Sign at Kum Nam Kim Demonstration
Description
In the foreground, a protestor holds a sign that reads "Stop Police Brutality," while marching at the head of a single file line at a CAAAV demonstration held at the 20th precinct to demand police accountability and 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] A police barrier emblazoned with the words "Do not Cross" sits menacingly next to the demonstrators, and two police officers in-uniform surveil the group from the rear.
