Michael B. Jordan speaks on stage while attending a Black Lives Matter protest on Saturday afternoon (June 6) in Beverly Hills, Calif.

The 33-year-old Black Panther actor vowed to promote diversity and black culture. He also called on Hollywood agents to commit to black hiring.

“You committed to a 50/50 gender parity in 2020, where is the challenge to commit to black hiring? Black content lead by black executives, black consultants. Are you policing our storytelling as well? Let us bring our darkness to the light,” Michael said.

Michael mentioned how his production company has an inclusion rider, but “it has to go beyond that.”

“Anybody that deals with me, if you have racist beliefs, if you have a racist bone in your body, if you’re not with me, if you don’t stand with me and people that look like me, you don’t need to be with me,” Michael said. “I use my power to demand diversity but it’s time that studios and agencies…do so.”

Michael was joined by actor Kendrick Sampson while walking in a march that day as well.

Kendrick Sampson is documenting what is going on at the Black Lives Matter protests in Los Angeles.

The 32-year-old Insecure actor took to Instagram on Saturday (May 30) to share a few videos from the L.A. protests, which is being held to denounce police brutality in the wake of George Floyd‘s death.

In the videos, Kendrick recorded the chaotic scene, which revealed the tensions between protestors and police, who were wearing riot gear and at one point began shooting rubber bullets towards the ground.

“I have it on video, they literally just started shooting canisters into peaceful protesters,” Kendrick said in one video. “These motherf–kers started this s–t. These motherf–kers right here. They started this s–t. Now everybody saying, ‘Hands up, don’t shoot.’ They are the aggressors.”

As the police begin marching towards the crowds, Kendrick is hit by a policeman holding a baton.

“Don’t f–king hit me!” Kendrick can be heard screaming the video. “Are you gonna aim it at me?!”

A few moments later, Kendrick turned the camera on himself and said, “They started hurting people. Y’all saw this motherf–ker hit me. Hit ME — with a baton, I’m unarmed. Then they started attacking girls. I have it on all on video.”

“I was sitting there filming peacefully,” Kendrick continued. “And he targeted me out of everybody — he started hitting me cause I was recording? I ain’t being violent. I don’t condone violence.”

Kendrick also recorded one the police cars vandalized with spray paint while saying,”None of these police cars were touched until they started hurting people. See that? That happened because they started f–king people up. I’m gonna let you all know right now.”
