A 12-year-old gospel singer has emerged as a powerful voice for justice this week in the wake of George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis.
Keedron Bryant’s protest anthem with the chorus “I just want to live” quickly made the rounds on social media as demonstrations exploded nationwide over the death of Floyd, a Black man who died after a white police officer knelt on his neck as he lay handcuffed on the street.
“Just singing what’s on my heart,” Keedron wrote in his Instagram post.
Keedron appeared recently on NBC’s kid talent show “Little Big Shots.”
Nyong’o, the Oscar-winning actor, added: “He should not have to sing this song.”
