Actor and civil right activist Samuel L. Jackson commended the massive, nationwide Black Lives Matter protests during a discussion on CNNs Anderson Cooper 360, calling it the labor pains of systemic change.
During Coopers Monday night show, the 71-year-old Jackson, who participated in civil rights protests while a student at Morehouse College in the late 1960s, urged the protestors out in the streets to have patience and seek political allies
Im energized watching them do it. I wish I wasnt in this high risk area of Covid or I would be out there with them joining in. If I had the energy to be out there, Jackson said. But I love the way it looks. It is a very different view from the one I had in the 60s and 70s. The faces are all ethnicity and the youth and energy feels the same. And in my mind it feels like change is about to happen. It is one of those kind of things where the birth of change or birth has labor, now were starting the labor pains of this change thats about to happen. It is almost like the murders that took place that got all of these young people in the streets was the water breaking on Ok, thats enough, the water broke and now were in labor and lets see what the result of this labor will be.
