#StopRacism

#StopRacism The world has taken a stand against racism in the wake of the death of African-American George Floyd. Photo app Agora called on its global community of photographers to channel this call for unity in their work. In total, 2,120 photos were submitted with ‘I can’t breathe’ by Kenyan photographer @onyangodennis voted as best reflecting the urgent need to stop racism. The $1,000 prize will be donated equally between chosen charities fighting the anti-racism cause. Two more images by Kenyan photographers were among the 48 finalists.

“Racism is the belief that a particular race is superior or inferior to another… it has influenced wars, slavery, the formation of nations, and legal codes. It needs to stop now: we all are humans, so let's show humanity.”
