In light of all the injustices that the black community has had to
endure over the past few years, the black community has begged for black
celebrities and public figures to take a stand and speak out against
these tragedies. Some celebrities have made a stand by using social
media and news outlets like CNN to sound off.
Unlike these outspoken celebrities who rose to their fans outcries,
there are some black celebrities who prefer to work behind the scenes
and let their actions speak for themselves. Nelly, for example, is one
such celebrity. He rose to the occasion and heeded the cries of his

memory live on, but also to inspire students to be the change they wish
to see within their community.
