[su_box title=”Photos by Alex Garland” box_color=”#131212″]Before Aug. 9, 2014, not many outside of Missouri had heard of Ferguson, the city on the outskirts of St. Louis. That changed the day Michael Brown — an 18-year-old unarmed black man—was killed by white police officer Darren Wilson. Many too had probably never heard of Pasco, a small city nestled in southeast Washington State, with a population that is 56 percent Latino. That too changed the day Antonio Zambrano-Montes, an unarmed migrant from Michoacán, Mexico, was gunned down my police on Feb. 10. Crowds in Portland, Oregon and Seattle, Washington took to the streets on Feb. 18, protesting the killing of the man whose crime had been throwing rocks at cars and police officers. A cell phone video captured Zambrano-Montes running from police, both arms raised in surrender. When he turned in submission, he was fired at 17 times.
These photos were captured by photojournalist Alex Garland in Seattle, Washington, where roughly 75 people marched for an hour. The killing is a reminder—like one of the protester’s sign read—that all lives matter.[/su_box]
