Washington, DC native Wale has packed his bags and traveled to Baltimore, Maryland this week amid publicized rioting and growing tension following Freddie Gray‘s funeral.
Speaking at Frederick Douglass High School, alongside Reverend Jamal Bryant, Wale talked about the importance of speaking to youth.
“Regardless of what’s happened out here, these are the young leaders of tomorrow and they have to look in the mirror and see something better than what they’re being perceived as on TV,” Wale said. “We need each other. We need our community leaders to come step forward and we need these kids to understand that somebody believes in them. I believe in them, Jamal believes in them and there’s a lot of people in this community that believe in these kids.” (My Fox DC)
