Protesters in Washington DC united for a powerful and peaceful moment on Wednesday night, as they sang together in front of a blockaded White House. As demonstrators continued to call for justice for George Floyd [1] and countless other slain Black Americans, singer Kenny Sway [2] set up in the middle of the crowd for a poignant and beautiful rendition of "Lean on Me," originally performed by Bill Withers. Protesters quickly joined in and conveyed a message of support for one another as they swayed with their phone flashlights shining.

Shabtai Gold, journalist with the German Press Agency, caught the moment on camera and it's a stunning sight to behold. Watch his clip below to see the moment for yourself, and then check out ways you can help in the fight for racial justice [3], even if you can't attend a protest yourself.
