Like many Americans, Keke Palmer is marching with the protesters to fight against racial injustice. On the afternoon of Tuesday, the actress spoke with courage to the National Guard soldiers in an inspiring conversation. In a powerful video, captured by Gadi Schwartz of NBC News, Keke stood between the protesters and the troops of the National Guard to ask the soldiers to help to protect your community and march with them.
“Show us that you are here for us . . . Make history with us, please!”
“We have people here that need your help, this is when you and ya’ll stand together with the community, with the society,” he said in the video. “So stop government oppression, and point. We need you.” When one of the soldiers said: “I agree with you,” in response, Keke, then, asked the troops to march with the group of protesters. “March with us, march with us!” she said, leading the crowd to chant and cheer. “Let the revolution be televised, show us that you are here for us . . . Make history with us, please!”
A soldier then explained that despite the fact that he could not abandon his post, that could march across the street to the next intersection with the group. Despite the fact that the actress continued to plead, he said that he also had to protect the business, to which she replied, “I’m at a loss.” A protester in the crowd, then asked if the soldiers could take a kneel down in his place, and the members of the National Guard is on her knees completely in solidarity. “That is not enough for me,” said Keke, continues to urge the soldiers to march with the protesters. While the soldiers refused to march with the community, Keke’s passionate speech is still a must see. Take a look at the video above.
