Baltimore erupted in protests that turned into riots after the funeral of 25-year-old African American man Freddie Gray on Monday, who died of spinal injuries he received while in police custody.
“I don’t know how you can be black in America and be silent.”
In recent months, the United States has seen waves of mass protests against police brutality and racial profiling prompted by police killings of primarily unarmed African Americans.
