Star Wars actor John Boyega has made a passionate speech at a George Floyd protest at Hyde Park in London.
The actor, famous for playing Finn in the franchise, told crowds "Black Lives Matter!"
"Imagine this: A nation that is set up with individual families that are thriving."
"That are healthy, that communicate, that raise their children in love to have a better rate of becoming better human beings."
"...and that is what we need to create, black men - it starts with you!"

Speaking Out Could "Damage My Career"
John also said speaking out could damage his career, but he doesn't care.
Apart from Star Wars, he has appeared in Pacific Rim: Uprising, Detroit and The Circle.
