“ I applaud my people for protesting and uniting for change. I’m sickened and heartbroken​. ​We are stronger together. Let’s buy our blocks back through education and preparing the next generation with financial literacy. #GodIsGood #WeAllWeGot” – Percy Miller

George Floyd is one of the 422 people who have been shot and killed by police this year. Video footage of his detainment surfaced showing an officer kneeling on his neck while he pleaded for his life went viral. Master P, like many others, has had enough with the balant abuse of power by city officials. Black communities have suffered from limited accessibility to resources, systemic racism and outdated policies as a plague nationwide. Master P shares that financial literacy is the only way to level the playing field. His remarks speak of justice for those who have unjustly lost their lives due to the hands of law enforcement, imprisonment for all officers involved, and lastly implementing a preventative action plan for Black Americans through education and ownership of businesses, buildings and properties in our communities.
