Washington, DC

Yamilet Ventura celebrates her Quinceañera by holding a sign that reads "15 Mis Quince BLM" in her gloves, tiara, and beautiful dress at 16th Street Northwest at the area renamed Black Lives Matter Plaza north of the White House, Friday, June 19, 2020, in Washington. Quinceañera or quince, is the celebration of a girl's 15th birthday, marking her passage from girlhood to womanhood. Juneteenth commemorates when the last enslaved African Americans learned they were free 155 years ago. Now, with support growing for the racial justice movement, 2020 may be remembered as the year the holiday reached a new level of recognition.
