Taking a Stand in Baton Rouge
Since 2016
Taking a Stand in Baton Rouge is a photograph of Ieshia Evans, a nurse from Pennsylvania, being arrested by police officers dressed in riot gear during a protest in front of the Baton Rouge Police Department headquarters, on 9 July 2016. The protest began in the aftermath of the shooting by police of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile.
The image, taken by Jonathan Bachman for Reuters, became a viral phenomenon on social media, described by several media organizations as "iconic", with some comparing the image (and Evans) to well-known images of other lone protesters, such as the photograph of "Tank Man" in the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989.
