The United Kingdom native was amongst a passionate crowd of thousands who gathered in London’s Hyde Park. His passion for equality, especially when it comes to Black women, was so great he could barely hold back tears.
“Black men, we need to take care of our Black women! We need to take care of them! They’re ours! They’re ours! They’re our future! We cannot demonize our own!”
He continued with,
“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.”
