The murder of George Floyd on May 25, 2020 demonstrated that the tolerance for racial inequality in the United States could no longer remain unchallenged. The constant crimes committed against the Black community had reached a breaking point, forcing society to confront systemic racism and its influence on the country. The nation responded with protests aimed to increase awareness on the subject and to demand change and consequences for those responsible. The collection consists of digital images and videos created by Nicholas Soracco from two days of protesting in Sunland, California for Black Lives Matter in 2020. It documents protestors occupying intersections, marching in the streets, delivering speeches, and displaying thought-provoking signs that collectively demanded equality for the lives of Black people in support of the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement. The protests also highlight the divisions and the differences in attitudes towards some of the nation’s citizens, with supporters of President Donald Trump's actions receiving little resistance from police during their counter protests. These events provide a snapshot of the United States and the racial pandemic amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, and the ongoing pursuit of equality in the United States. Soracco was born in 1978 and he grew up in Northern California. He works in management.

The collection contains spreadsheets with metadata for more detailed information on most of the images and videos.
