Tensions are currently high in the United States surrounding the topic of police brutality against minorities in this country, specifically the African-American community.
The murder of Floyd has led to public outrage across the United States as people take to the streets to show that the time is now for reform.
Celebrities and athletes, like Mbappé, are using their platforms to bring attention to the matter at a larger scale. Nike, which sponsors PSG and Mbappé, recently released a video on their social media accounts.
