The BW photo was taken during the 1999 event by Kevin Sharp.
The color photo is a film still from Battle in Seattle, Redwood Palms Pictures.

"Well, I must admit that when, in the fall 1999 issue of YES! I urged our readers to come to Seattle for the World Trade Organization protests, I hadn't dared to dream the event would turn out to be such an historic turning point. While the police violence captured the attention of the nightly news, for those in the streets the real news was the power of the people to undo the best laid plans of the power elites and to openly celebrate their hopes for a world that honors all of life."
—Fran Korten, YES! Executive Director
