The protests aren’t going anywhere. Demonstrations in New York have entered their fourth week following the police killing of George Floyd, and the momentum on the streets looks like it may last all summer. On Sunday — the day that over 15,000 people marched in Brooklyn to celebrate and defend black trans lives — photographer Mark Clennon captured protests in Manhattan, as marchers walked from Trump Tower to African Square in Harlem. Protesters continue to get results: On Monday, the NYPD announced it would disband its 600-officer plainclothes anti-crime unit responsible for an alarming number of police shootings. Below are some of Clennon’s scenes from Sunday’s march.

At long, long last

The N.F.L. team in Washington plans to announce Monday that it will drop Redskins from its name, according to a person with direct knowledge of the decision, yielding to sponsors and Native American activists who have long criticized it a racist slur.

The person who confirmed the decision spoke on condition of anonymity because the team had yet to make the official announcement. The anticipated move was first reported by Sports Business Journal on Sunday and followed by other news organizations.

The team, one of the oldest in the N.F.L., was not expected to announce a new name on Monday as it continues to evaluate possibilities.
