18th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
Only One Way Forward

This photo was taken in Dallas Texas at the June 13th Day of Action to Stop Police Crimes. In a country where life can be challenging for African Americans, it is that much harder for our men. The young man in the idle of the photo has on an American Flag mask, and he is the only African American seen in the photo. The one way sign in the back pointing in the direction the crowd is walking provided that extra piece of perfection for me and inspired the name.
