βIβm speaking to you from my heart. Look, I donβt know if Iβm going to have a career after this, but fuck that. Today is about innocent people who were halfway through their process, we donβt know what George Floyd could have achieved, we donβt know what Sandra Bland could have achieved, but today weβre going to make sure that wonβt be an alien thought to our young ones. Every black person in here remembered when another person reminded you that you were black. So none of you out there, all those protesters on the other side, protesting against what we want to do, protesting against what we want to try and achieve, burn you, this is so vital. I need you 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 isnβt the case anymore, that was never the case anymore.β John Boyega at The Black Lives Matter protest in Hyde Park June 3rd 2020
