The Five — John Boyega, Powerful Protesting Moments, a Goose and Dogs, a Message from Donald Trump

This is The Five, our weekday rundown of five things that we are passionate about, bring levity to our day or are truly inspirational.

Today in The Five, we are featuring John Boyega‘s emotional London protest speech, power protesting moments, just a goose and dogs going for a walk, and Donald Trump, his bible and a message.

ONE: John Boyega’s Impassioned Black Lives Matter Speech

“Black lives have always mattered. We have always been important. We have always meant something. We have always succeeded regardless. And now is the time. I ain’t waiting.”

“Look, I don’t know if I’m going to have a career after this, but fuck that. Today is about innocent people who were halfway through their process. We don’t know what George Floyd could have achieved, we don’t know what Sandra Bland could have achieved, but today we’re going to make sure that won’t be an alien thought to our young ones.”

“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 isn’t the case anymore, that was never the case. We are a physical representation of our support for George Floyd. We are a physical representation of our support for Sandra Bland. We are a physical representation of our support for Trayvon Martin. We are a physical representation of our support for Stephen Lawrence, for Mark Duggan.”
