London-born British actor John Boyega’s road to Hollywood superstardom includes a string of blockbusterreboots—but it’s through his voice and actions off-screen that the 28-year-old social activist has also made his mark. Speaking from the heart at the peaceful Black Lives Matter protest in London’s Hyde Park on June 3, Boyega delivered a rousing call for unity, emphasizing the critical importance of sustaining the anti-racism movement that’s gathered global momentum over past weeks.
“I’m 28 years old, born and raised in London.... Every black person understands and realizes the first time you were reminded that you were black.... I need you guys to understand how painful this shit is. I need you to understand how painful it is to be reminded every day that your race means nothing. And that isn’t the case any more. That is never the case any more. We’re gonna try today.”“We are a physical representation of our support for George Floyd.
“This message is specifically for black men: Black men, we need to take care of our black women. We need to take care of them. They are our hearts. They are our future. We cannot demonize our own. We are the pillars of the family. Imagine this: A nation that is set up with individual families that are thriving, that are healthy, that communicate, that raise their children in love, have a better rate of becoming better human beings. And that’s what we need to create.
