The picture, hailed as being definitive of the protests across USA, shows a lone demonstrator standing calmly in front of cops in riot gear, approaching her in what looks like an aggressive manner.It was clicked by Reuters' photographer Jonathan Bachman. The woman in the picture has now been identified as Ieshia Evans, a 28-year-old nurse and mother to a five-year-old boy.
