Viral Photos Show Black Women Simply Unbothered By Police Intimidation [View all]

Twitter user Matthew Cherry compiled a series of photos of badass black women protesters refusing to succumb to police intimidation.

Cherry made the collage of photos on Sunday as a homage to Black History Month. His tweet includes the famous 2016 photo of Iesha Evans ― whose peaceful demeanor during a Black Lives Matter march served as a symbolic contrast between the tones of law enforcement and BLM protesters during the summer of 2016 ― as well as photos from women of the civil rights era who had no time for police coercion.

Yes, a few secs apart AND they ARE flipped. Flipped based on 8 points observations and analysis. Bernardo de La Paz Feb 2017 #36
