„Tata je promenio svet“: Najpotresnije slike iz Amerike

I mediji i društvene mreže su otkada su počeli protesti u Americi zbog ubistva Afroamerikanca Džordža Flojda preplavljeni različitim prizora sa ulica američkih gradova. Svet su, međutim, obilazili u jednakoj meri potresni, dirljivi i brutalni snimci i slike koje su potresle ne samo američku, već svetsku javnost.

Šestogodišnja ćerka ubijenog Džordža Flojda, Đijana, pojavila se na snimku na kojem je ujak na mirnom protestu u Mineapolisu koji je pokrenula Flojdova porodica, nosi na ramenima i govori joj: “Tata je promenio svet” misleći na Džordža Flojda. Devojčica potom ponavlja ovu rečenicu. Samo dan kasnije je gostovala u emisiji u kojoj je govorila o tome koliko joj tata nedostaje.

Na Tviteru se deli transparent na kojem su hronološki ispisane poslednje reči Afroamerikanaca koji su bili žrtve policijske brutalnosti.

Gradonačelnik Mineapolisa Džejkob Frej kleknuo je i zaplakao pored kovčega na početku komemoracije Džordža Flojda. Telo Flojda leži u kovčegu zlatne boje, okruženo cvećem, a osim njegovog portreta iza prisutnih je postavljen mural s njegovim likom.

Hiljade demonstranata u Portlandu ležalo je devet minuta u znak protesta protiv smrti Džordža Flojda i policijske brutalnosti nad Afroamerikancima.

Svet su obišli i snimci američke policije koja kleči sa demonstrantima u znak solidarnosti.

Na Tviteru su objavljene fotografije neba nad američkim gradovima na kojem je jedan umetnik iz Dalasa ispisao poslednje reči Džordža Flojda.

Terens Flojd, brat ubijenog Džordža Flojda, na mestu na kojem je preminuo njegov brat, a koje je postalo spomen obeležje, održao je moćan govor okupljenim demonstrantima. Obratio se svima koji učestvuju u neredeima proteklih nedelju dana, rekavši da ako on ništa ne razbija i ne uništava, zašto onda oni to rade te dodao kako ništa od toga neće vratiti njegovog brata.

Pored moćnih slika sa krcatog Menhetna, ovacije je skupila baka sa podignutom pesnicom koja protestuje protiv policijske brutalnosti.

Najbolji fotografi su sa demonstrantima izašli na ulice i zabeležili neke od najdirljivijih scena poput crnog dečaka koji nosi transparent sa natpisom „Jesam li ja sledeći?“ i crne devojke koja kleči pred policijom.

America, y’all hear us now? We’re black and we’re proud ✊?? .⠀ Marching yesterday with hundreds of people in downtown Brooklyn, I saw this young kid launch through his sunroof to join in protest. Jaw dropped, screaming in unison. His black power fist clinched with the angst of the zeitgeist. .⠀ It’s time for each of us to make a decision—what side of history do you want to be on when the dust finally settles?

Protesti zbog smrti Džordža Flojda održani su i u evropskim gradovima.

Bele žene u Luizvilu formirale su ljudski štit oko crnih demonstranata.

Prizor je zabeležio fotograf Tim Drak, a na fotografiji se vidi niz žena u Kentakiju koje ruku pod ruku stoje okupljene oko demonstranata koji protestuju zbog ubistva Breone Tejlor i bezbroj drugih Afroamerikanaca kojima je policija oduzela život.
