TNGF
SELECTED
Young Black Man
primary
A Black man in his early 20s, with a lean but muscular build, standing about 5'10" tall. His short, tightly coiled hair is slightly disheveled from the heat and movement. His dark brown eyes are wide with intensity, and his jaw is clenched in anger. His skin glistens with sweat under the hot August sun.
Police Sergeant
primary
A middle-aged white man in his late 40s, with a stocky build and a square jaw. His face is weathered from years on the force, with deep-set eyes and a receding hairline. His posture is rigid, reflecting his military-like training.
Elderly Woman
secondary
A Black woman in her late 60s with silver-gray hair pulled back into a neat bun, deep-set wise eyes that have seen decades of struggle, and weathered brown skin with pronounced laugh lines. Her posture is slightly stooped but she carries herself with quiet dignity.
Black Teenager
secondary
A wiry Black teenager, around 15-16 years old, with short curly hair and a lean build. His face is smudged with dirt and sweat, eyes wide with adrenaline. His knuckles are scraped from throwing debris.
White Reporter
background
A middle-aged white man with a lean build, short brown hair neatly combed, and wire-rimmed glasses. His face is slightly sunburned from being outdoors, and he has a pencil tucked behind his ear. His hands are calloused from handling cameras and notepads.
