Mike Brown’s Death Prompts Open Letter By Keke Palmer: Stop separating yourself through race!

He (the officer) shot again and once my friend felt that shot, he turned around and put his hands in the air. He started to get down and the officer still approached with his weapon drawn and fired several more shots.

The 18-year-old planned to start classes at Vatterott College Monday. The shooting not only ignited protests in the predominantly black suburb area outside of St. Louis but quickly spread outrage around the world. Social media has been turning his life into a hashtag making sure his legacy lives on and celebrities are making sure their opinions are heard. One celebrity in question is Keke Palmer. The budding mogul has quickly become the voice of young adults and she’s let it be heard yesterday. First taking to her Twitter she references Martin Luther King as she spoke on the death of the St. Louis teen. 

Making sure her Instagram followers heard her thoughts, she later changed platforms and posted a few videos over the matter as well.

The police officer’s name has yet to be outed but the Chief Tom Jackson said he has been put on paid administrative leave. Rest in peace, Mike Brown.
