In The Middle Of Chaos: Living With The Daunte Wright Protests At The Front Door
Brooklyn Center, MN - For the past several nights, Ebonie McMillan and her children have watched as protests over the death of Daunte Wright turned violent outside their home in Brooklyn Center, Minnesota.
The New York Times spent one of those evenings documenting the scene outside Ebonie's apartment.
From a mother laying out a makeshift bed on the floor, a precaution to protect from stray bullets tearing through her walls, to a sister delivering snacks to her siblings who are sequestered in a bedroom, the cartoons on television drowning out nightmare just a few feet away, to babies crying out for their mom at the cracks and bangs and screaming outside, "In the Middle of Chaos" offers a look at the quiet casualties of injustice and conflict in the heart of the midwest.
