John Boyega Is Thankful For The Support To BLM Protests
Star Wars actor John Boyega is thankful for receiving so much support for his BLM protest speech. The actor went down and stood in the middle of protestors to literally raise voice against the black community using a microphone to hype up the crowd. He urged the protestors to keep the protests as peaceful as possible while also talking about how this could potentially end his career in acting after this. After the news of his speech went viral on social media and news platforms, he now gives thanks to his supporters for showing love to his BLM speech.
John Boyega Uploads A Post Of Gratitude For The BLM Speech
In a post he uploaded regarding the BLM protest support, John Boyega wrote:
“I want to thank you all for the love and support you have shared over the last few days, although nothing I have done is for praise, or is truly even enough, in the grand scheme of things. This is an intense time for our community, and the most important thing is for us to maintain momentum and not lose sight of how critical it is to pursue long term solutions and commitments, for the sake of our generation, and the next.”
John Boyega’s BLM speech in London on June 3 won him several praises across the United States, especially the Star Wars fans. The tragic murder of George Floyd by the hands of Minneapolis policeman, Derek Chauvin, has incited the black community and everyone else to come out on streets to protest. Recently we heard that in the first hearing, the judge set Chauvin’s bail at over $ 1.2 million.
For Boyega, he could hardly hold back his tears as he charged the crowd by saying:
“Black lives have always mattered. We have always been important. We have always meant something. We have always succeeded regardless. And now is the time. I ain’t waiting.”
