By all accounts, this virtual event was a tour de force, with technical gimmicks and congratulations sent from space. But it was also held in the shadow of the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis, and the ensuing protests.

PHOTO FEATURE: THE VIEW FROM MASS AVE

Written by DIG STAFF Posted November 20, 2019 Filed Under: FEATURES, Non-fiction
