John Boyega broke down in tears today during a powerful speech in London before protesting.
John Boyega called into question whether he’d have a career left after giving a powerful speech before going protesting with the crowd.
He spoke about Sandra Bland, George Floyd, and other black people who have lost their lives to police brutality and white vigilantism.
He broke down when he started to speak about black men respecting black women, and spoke about the significance of family.
Here’s how the video started:

so @JohnBoyega said he was sick of just cussing racists out and is protesting in London rn. he has an important message to Black America. anti-Blackness is global. the Black diaspora must fight it together. “YOU ARE NOT ALONE! WE LOVE YOU!” ✊🏿✊🏾 #BlackLivesMattter pic.twitter.com/vilmvYZABU
