As Sam Cooke’s “A Change is Gonna Come” played, Jamie Anthony ran up and down the streets of New Bedford using her camera to document people of every generation participating in a Black Lives Matter march this past June.
When her legs got tired, Anthony, 23, sat on top of a car that was driving slowly with the protest and was able to really take in the different ages of all the people marching, which included people who had already marched for racial equity in their lifetimes.
“It was just an impactful moment because it was almost like we took a step back in time and I was looking at history repeat itself . but also seeing the triumph and strength and tears in my community,” Anthony said recently. “It was an amazing moment for me.”
