Ishia Evans is civil rights activist in America. Ishia Evans became famous when she was photographed taking a stance at a protest about the shooting of Alton Sterling, a black man by police in Baton Rouge Louisiana.

The photograph shows, a Ishia Evans in a dress standing calmly in front of two police officers wearing layers of armour.

In an atmosphere of heightened racial tension, and amid growing debate over the seeming militarisation of American police, this photo has stood out.
