The photographs in this online exhibit were taken by Rasaan Burke in Ellensburg, Washington, during the summer and fall of 2020. "Ellensburg Calls to Action," a community group dedicated to ending racism in Ellensburg and to supporting the Black Lives Matter movement, held signs on the corner of 5th Ave. and Main St. for over 4 months or 132 days, throughout rain, heat, cold weather, and the famous "Ellensburg Wind." 

See the Spectacle Puzzle for yourself.
