There's one thing about the truth, it deserves no apology.

Photographer and independent journalist KingDemetrius Pendleton shares his firsthand experiences documenting Metro Surge in Minneapolis, including the demonstrations following the killing of Renee Good and his own encounters with federal immigration agents. Reflecting on the physical risks of photojournalism, his personal journey, and his commitment to marginalized communities, Pendleton speaks to the importance of bearing witness, documenting injustice, and refusing to remain silent.


The Winter of Our Resistance was financed in part by a series of anonymous donors that contributed generously to In Progress as an arts organization supporting artists and community during Metro Surge. We are eternally grateful for the opportunities afforded to us during this stressful time.
