My prayers go out to all my brothers & sisters in Baltimore. This battle is hard but crucial. The revolutionary youth will change the world. — Amandla Stenberg (@amandlastenberg) April 28, 2015
Don't condemn our anger. Don't denounce our pain as savage. What's savage is the cruel inhumanity and brutality of the police. Condemn that. — Amandla Stenberg (@amandlastenberg) April 28, 2015
