Spurred by recent claims of police brutality against African Americans, this photograph is of a woman demonstrating in the streets of Philadelphia demanding fair, dignified, and respectful treatment of African Americans by United States law enforcement.
The Allard Prize Photography Competition jury selected this photograph as a reminder that corruption and violations against human rights can, and do, happen everywhere in the world.
