775 Lives
Volunteers make the final count of caskets carrying remains of 775 Bosnian women and men in an old warehouse building near the former United Nations building in Potocari. The United Nations building was led by a Dutch battalion who were responsible for the safety of the people of Srebrenica but could not fight off the VRS soldiers who were killing off the Bosnian Muslim men of Srebrenica. Despite their role as peace keepers, United Nations declined to send reinforcements to help combat the Bosnian-Serb army.

Fire
Robed Klansmen and women gather around a flaming cross burning on the compound. Crosses are burned to symbolize "the light of Christ" and the Klans belief in Christianity as a purely-white religion. The IKA's cross burnings have been known to bring over 50 participants, however, this year only 12 Klan members were present on the compound during the ritual.

5am Tent Life
Mike Bailey sits in a tent he has erected on the strike line in front of the Mott's plant at 5 in the morning on August 7, 2010. A member of the RWDSU (Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union) Local 220, Bailey made the decision to live outside his old place of work to save money on gas and support his fellow workers. In Bailey's tattered tent, the wind and rain are close company. He sleeps briefly, but the morning light only seems to give him more energy. As many on the strike line like to quote, "One day longer, one day stronger."
