Title
Demonstrators Stand in Front of Wall of Posters at Kum Nam Kim Demonstration
Description
Two smiling demonstrators—both of whom carry drums— stand with a child in front of a poster-covered wall while attending a rally organized to demand justice for Kum Nam Kim, a Korean street vendor who was beaten and arrested by police on August 3, 1993, after protesting an unfair parking ticket.[1] The posters display a diversity of languages and political messages, with the two English ones at the center of the frame reading, from left to right, "[You Can't] Cover up Anti-Asian Violence, (double brackets added because the full text of this poster appears in another photo cited below]" and "Stop Anti-Asian Violence."
