Images by Martin Ingber that can be used as examples to understand the spirit of American protests

This photo should be called 'March For Our Lives'. It's from June of 2022 in Great Neck, New York, & shows one of many local March For Our Lives events that are held throughout the US to protest the ongoing American epidemic of senseless gun violence. These were originally organized by survivors of a horrific High School shooting in Florida that resulted in mass deaths of young people. This image shows a local activist, Nina Gordon (who is also a friend of mine), accompanying a student organizer who was leading the crowd in song.
(May 2019) A demonstrator covered in fake blood, facing Trump Tower on 5th Avenue in NYC, when climate-change denier (& evil idiot) Donald Trump was the US President.
Women's March (Jan. 2017) in NYC, one of many enormous demonstrations held across the US (& around the world) in response to Trump becoming president. I thought it was one of the most artistic signs.
Women's March (Jan. 2017) in NYC, shows part of the huge crowd that completely filled the streets; this view is of 5th Avenue in the heart of Manhattan.
