A high-angle, medium shot photograph captures a large crowd of people marching down a city street. The crowd is dense, and many individuals are holding up signs, some of which are partially visible. A bridge or overpass crosses the street overhead, with a line of police officers standing on it, observing the crowd. Street signs for "4th St" are visible at an intersection.
