June was a very busy month.

We shoot hundreds of frames when we cover an event. This image was not included in our original coverage.

Again, I learned online of an organized rally and march on immigration to be held in front of the Boone County Courthouse in Columbia, Missouri, midday on June 30, 2018. I made the drive to Columbia, arrived early, and found a parking spot north of the courthouse.

It was hot. So much so that early arrivals staked out spots in nearby building shade and under trees on the courthouse grounds.

Did I mention it was hot?

These two women were at the front of the crowd of around five hundred individuals listening and reacting to rally speakers on the courthouse steps.
