White armband day memorial in Sarajevo

White armband day memorial in Sarajevo

Taken on 2019-05-31

The picture was taken during the commemoration of "White armband"day, which remembers the victims of the war in the Northwestern city of Prijedor. The event always sparks controversy and tension between different victim groups, citizens and members of different ethnic communities. In this particular case, the AntiDayton group set up this memorial in Veliki Park (Sarajevo) showcasing pictures and names of the victims of war in Prijedor. White armband day is commemorated on May 30 as it was on this date in 1992 where authorities in Prijedor instructed for citizens "not loyal to the Serb Republic of Bosnia-Heryegovina" to display a white flag at the entrance of their homes. This was followed by ethnic cleansing of Bosniak and Croat citizens in the area.

"Picture I took from the crowd outside of the Charleston church shooting memorial service. As the church filled to capacity, people gathered outside, sung hymns, and listened to religious leaders talk." On the evening of June 17, 2015, a mass shooting took place at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in downtown Charleston, South Carolina, United States. Nine people were killed, including the senior pastor, state senator Clementa C. Pinckney; a tenth victim survived. The congregation is one of the United States' oldest black churches and has long been a site for community organization around civil rights. Police arrested a suspect, later identified as 21-year-old Dylann Roof, in Shelby, North Carolina, the morning after the attack. The United States Department of Justice is investigating the possibility that the shooting was a hate crime or an act of domestic terrorism, among other motives. Roof has been charged with nine counts of murder by the State of South Carolina.
