The Chalk May Fade But The Movement Continues...

Evanston’s Fountain Square Plaza came to life in a new way on Sunday, May 31st when locals from throughout the City rallied for the Black Lives Matter movement. Fulfilling its intended role as a central public gathering space, Fountain Square transformed into a hub for protestors who assembled to demand justice and systemic change. As the photos below by Steve Jordan of Evanston Photographic Studios showcase, "placemaking" is a verb centered on people, awareness and action. Whether connecting with friends over the everyday ordinary lunch... or making history by standing in solidarity for a better future, Fountain Square continues to unite residents and serve as Evanston's community canvas.
