White Coats for Black Lives

Black and white photo of medical staff standing in front of the UAMS Medical Center for the White Coats for Black Lives event

Taken on a sunny day in the June heat. I really wanted to capture how unified UAMS has been in responding to injustice in our community and in setting an example of a just culture. At the end of the event, everyone knelt on the ground (grass for some, asphalt for others). It felt much longer, but it was only eight minutes and forty-six seconds.
