Damon Davis : Courage is contagious (transcript)
Summary
In the past, a black man was killed because he was black.
Police used force to impose fear of militarized police, imprisonment and fines to the community, even the media tried to scard community by the way they spun the story.
However, it was different this time.
The community wasn't silent and it started to hold protests naturally.
There was anger there but there was beautiful love also.
Then the speaker took pictures of the hands of protesters and put them on buildings and shops in the community to raise awareness and the morale through them as an artist.
The pictures tied the normal folks and the people that use their power to spread fear and hate.
Fear changed to courage and it's contagious.
