Anonymi Fear Retribution

Members of an amorphous group called “Anonymous” held an “>9000 Anon March” (over nine-thousand, anonymous march) to protest the Church of Scientology, Saturday, July 19, 2008, in front of the Lincoln Memorial. Two protesters in the photo above are dressed completely in green fabric. Some protesters went to great lengths to cover their identity in fear of retribution by the Church of Scientology.

This photo is from a series of photos from the >9000 Anon March that will be published on Washington Photo Journal. More to come. Video soon. Be sure to add WaPhoJo to your RSS reader to know when more are added.

The Female Union Band Cemetery

The Mt. Zion Cemetery in Washington, DC, is composed of two burial grounds, the Female Union Band Cemetery, shown above in disrepair in this July 19, 2008, photo, and the Old Methodist Burying Ground, which is well maintained. The Female Union Band Society was a cooperative benevolent society of free black women whose members were pledged to assist one another in sickness and in death. The gravestones indicate both men and women were buried here, with most of the burials occurring between the 1880’s and 1920’s. Photo and caption by Sanjay Suchak for the Washington Photo Journal.
