04 JULY 2020 - DES MOINES, IOWA: A member of Black Lives Matter (left) argues with Donald Trump supporters on the grounds of the Iowa State Capitol. Hundreds of people came to the grounds of the Iowa State Capitol to protest against and in favor of historic monuments on the capitol grounds. Several hundred people protested against a monument to Christopher Columbus and the stereotypical depiction of Native Americans on the capitol grounds. About 50 people came to the capitol to rally in support of the monuments. The protest against the monuments was organized by Seeding Sovereignty, a collective of indigenous women. The rally to defend the monuments was organized by an Iowa chapter of Three Percenters.     PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
