This book covers a small portion of events that took place in 2020 and 2021.

• 2020 recorded the largest number of racial unrest protests and rallies, triggered by the death of George Floyd and police violence towards people of color. An estimated 15~25 million people attended these protests.

• On November 4th, 2020, a record number of 155+ million Americans voted in the presidential election.

• By the fall of 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic had infected 41 million people nationwide and claimed 660,000 lives. More than 179 million people had been fully vaccinated against the virus.

We have all been touched in some way by these events. The political climate and social unrest opened a great divide among Americans. COVID-19 brought many lives to a sudden halt with shut downs, financial uncertainty, and health concerns. The politicized debates and arguments over vaccines and mask-wearing further divided people.  

As I traveled through the U.S. documenting a wide range of events, it became clear that all parties involved, regardless of their racial, social, or political beliefs, felt that they were fighting to preserve something critical. Whether their focus was on their heritage, their future, their children's futures, or indeed their very souls, they were standing up for what they believed to be important.
