Janae Jamison holds a sign as she poses for a portrait at a rally for George Floyd in the French Quarter of New Orleans on Friday, June 5, 2020. “It’s 401 years of oppression that has led me here. It’s two-hundred forty-six years of slavery that has led me here. It’s eighty-nine years of segregation that have led me here.
