“When Associated Press photographer Julio Cortez arrived in Minneapolis on 28 May 2020, he found fire spreading, protesters tearing down fences, and the local police precinct under attack. “I was afraid for my safety,” Cortez recalls. But when he spotted a lone protester carrying an upside-down flag past a burning liquor store, he decided to track him. They were only a few miles from where, three days earlier, 46-year-old Black man George Floyd had been killed by a white police officer, setting off riots and a global reckoning with racism. The identity of the protester remains a mystery.”
