I have been a witness, and these pictures are my testimony. The events I have recorded should not be forgotten and must not be repeated.

They pass along information and ideas that many others do not know, and they cause them to ask questions, to challenge their own long-held beliefs. ... Movements are the way ordinary people get more freedom and justice. Movements are how we keep a check on power and those who abuse it.
