“To keep the art that I’ve helped make alive is the biggest action of rebellion. We’re going to hold on to what we do, and in fact, we’re going to put it out now, and say it even louder,” Da 5 Bloods' Jonathan Majors said.
Four or five days after that, like millions of other people around the world, he watched the video of, a Black man killed by former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin. Suddenly, the anger within Majors, stemming from that unknown spot inside him, welled up again.
Majors hopped onto FaceTime and explained to the young girl, “You have a crown. That’s why your hair goes up. Your hair, your crown, came from daddy, came from his mama, came from his father, came from his sister. Sometimes that crown can get you in trouble in this world, and it’s not right. And some people want to take that crown from you.” He felt emotional, and extremely vulnerable in that moment.
