While several parts of the country were involved in violent protests this weekend as a result of the death of George Floyd, three members of the Boston Celtics were involved in peaceful protests: Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart and Enes Kanter.
Smart spoke here to A. Sherrod Blakely of NBC Sports Boston:
✊🏾 Despite Color or Gender ✊🏾
The truth is the truth and justice is justice and justice hasn’t been served.
We will continue to stand w George Floyd’s family including peacefully protesting. This must stop! (@ASherrodblakely interview) pic.twitter.com/jjhL1MjbyP— marcus smart (@smart_MS3) June 1, 2020
Brown drove 15 hours to get to Atlanta so he could take part in the movement:
