Actor Michael B. Jordan took to Instagram on Saturday to speak out against police brutality following the deaths of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile, men killed by law enforcement officers in separate incidents on successive days in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and Falcon Heights, Minnesota. Jordan's post is the latest in a string of celebrity responses to the systemic violence plaguing communities of color in the United States. The CREED star's heartfelt missive is capped by a call for unity and a timely quote from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s speech entitled The Future of Integration."
