9 November 2016—

The Election Day  was over; results were in. And the President-elect was Donald Trump! Some people were happy, but for some it was an unexpected surprise.

Protests started early in the morning across from Trump Tower on 5th Avenue.

People were chanting and, there were a lot of different messages written on cardboard. I chose the ones with less words.

A young lady was showing her reaction, with body language. And she wasn’t alone.

A young man was feeling the same and had the same reaction. A finger was their sign.

Protest continued, or the big one started later in Columbus Circle, in front of another Trump building.

People were shouting “F*** your wall”, “You are not my president” and so on….

Police officers were everywhere.

Protesters started walking east to meet other protesters coming from Union Square…
