In the midst of that collective grief, she stood still.
This image was captured during a protest for Trayvon Martin — one of the darkest moments in modern Black history. A child’s life was taken, and a man walked free.
A young girl, flanked by her guardians, calm and centered.
Not crying. Not afraid.
Present — and somehow, protected.
James Dominic first took this photograph in 2012, during a time of sorrow and outrage. Years later, in 2020, he returned to the image — layering it with deeper intention, visual texture, and spiritual clarity.
Present and Protected is more than a protest photo.
It is a vision of Black resilience.
A reminder that even in the shadow of injustice, there are moments of grace.
To be young. To be held. To be whole.
Even when the world trembles around you.
