Michael B. Jordan Urges Hollywood Industry to 'Commit to Black Hiring' in Protest Speech

Several other celebrities across the entertainment industry have also joined the protests, including Kanye West, Cole Sprouse, Spike Lee, Halsey, Ariana Grande, and many more.

Last week, Jordan also addressed racial injustice in an Instagram post he shared of the logo for Chuck D's rap group, Public Enemy.

"Many people see this logo and think it’s a cop, but it’s really a black man. This logo by Chuck D represents the target on black folks backs," Jordan wrote. "If you saw the logo differently, think differently: This country was built on the backs of our ancestors — backs that had a target the entire time and this month is no different with more black lives caught in the crosshairs."

"Too many look at us as public enemies, only some see us as humans, and yet we need to be superhuman just to survive," he added. "We must strategize, organize, and train ourselves as we demand more. One arrest isn’t enough. This is just the beginning. "
