the world reacts to the news that "black panther" actor, chadwick boseman, has lost a four-year battle with colon cancer. also, ahead. the u.s., again, questions its relationship with race, as thousands of demonstrators gather in the nation's capital to demand an overhaul of the country's criminal justice system. and as the u.s., still, grapples with rising coronavirus

cases, several countries in europe are now seeing massive spikes. the latest, in the global effort to fight the virus. live, from cnn world headquarters, in atlanta, welcome to you. our viewers, here, in the united states and around the world, i'm kim brunhuber, and this is cnn "newsroom." as demands for racial justice in the united states grow louder, the nation is mourning the unexpected loss of a young actor, who made film history through his portrayal of african-american legends. chadwick boseman lost his four-year battle with colon cancer. the 43-year-old starred in the boundary-breaking, black superhero film "black panther." he also portrayed soul singer,

james brown. the first black supreme court justice, thurgood marshall. and baseball's jackie robinson. boseman's death fell on the jackie robinson day. while condolences are pouring in, the black advocacy group, the naacp, paid tribute. and academy actress viola davis, no words to express my devastation of losing you. your talent, your spirit, your heart, your authenticity, it was an honor working beside you. rest well, prince. she tweeted out what chadwick boseman meant to black kids and, frankly, to all of us. he continued to give joy through his talent, while battling an

awful disease. rest in the ultimate peace and power you deserve. fy adam joins me, now, live, from london. you said that this took your breath away. the passing of someone so talented, dying so young. >> absolutely. i mean, to wake up to this news, this morning, was truly shocking. because, chadwick boseman, as black panther, seems so strong. so young. you know, we know that "black panther" was coming back in may 2022, and we had no idea that he was so gravely ill. although, the signs were there lately in his posts on social media. in fact, people had been questioning his appearance. he did appear to be thinner, and not as healthy and not as built up as we've been used to. and people were questioning. and then, in some -- in some cases, making fun of the fact that he looked thinner and he looked gaunt. to the point where he, in fact, deleted those pictures. so all the signs were there.

we just didn't know. for four years -- can you imagine? for four years, he made some of the greatest movies of his life. he was black panther, going through such a horrible and terrible experience battling colon cancer, whilst in this incredible and very, very demanding role. you know, he spoke about how he had to bulk up for the role. you know, there's videos on social media, that i've seen this morning, that brought me to tears. when he was talking about children with terminal cancer who are writing to him and saying that they were trying to, basically, stay alive so they could see him in this role. and imagine him having that responsibility on his shoulders, whilst, also, going through the same thing, himself. it's unimaginable. and he really has transcended into a real-life superhero. >> uh-huh. well, you know, despite that, you know, success. despite that talent. looking back, i mean, he found it hard to break in the barriers that he faced mirrored those of

many talented, african-american artists. >> oh, absolutely. you know, in his howard commencement speech address in, he talked about how hard it was for him to break through. you know, his breakout role was in 42. that was in 2013, which is only seven years ago. so he was 35, or thereabouts,  when he had his breakout role. and it really has taken time. he has more than paid his dues. he's been acting for such a long time. he carried himself with such charisma, such grace, and really took on his roles and knew the responsibility that he had. you know, of being this black actor. but was never afraid to talk about the struggles. and i think that's part of what made him so relatable. so great to interview. and just someone who just represented black actors, male

and female, in such an amazing way. >> uh-huh. and as you said, i mean, that, you know, seminal, defining rule of black panther. even though he played a fictional superhero, just -- just a real strength for many, in the african-american community. and the diaspora, really, around the world. >> absolutely. here, in the uk, when black panther came out, i was at the premiere. and the excitement that was around that film in the months building up to it was unimaginable. in the way the community, here, in the uk, came out and showed for black panther. it wasn't necessarily a black story. it was a superhero that -- through a black lens. and that was something that we'd never seen before. and it was so beautifully done. you know, the -- the costume and

the elements of science. everything about black panther was everything that we wanted and been waiting for. it was so important to see that, on screen, and to have king t'challa. you know, my kids, my daughters watch black panther. and to have that superhero representation, for ourselves and for our children, was so important. and will continue to be important. that is such a legacy that he leav leaves. you know, from 2016, when he first popped up in the marvel movies. to the standalone black panther films. it's something that we will never, ever forget. and the excitement of that film was incredible. and it was such an amazing part to be part of that. and we so looked forward to seeing him again, next year, in the next black panther movie. it just feels like he's gone, far too soon. it's such a shame. >> absolutely. very well said there. you know, just a relatively short career. but still, larger than life. thank you, very much, in london. appreciate it.

>> and boseman's death came the same day as a massive, peaceful, racial justice demonstration was held in washington, d.c. marchers demanded justice for jacob blake. the african-american man left paralyzed in a police shooting, earlier this week. but they also honored the anniversary of reverend martin luther king jr.'s 1963 march on washington. like participants in that historic event, friday's marchers called for equality, better voting protection, and police reform. crowds gathered. and relatives of jacob blake, also, spoke. and they did so, as opposing narratives emerged in their loved one's case, along with new details about the suspect in the deadly protest shooting

wednesday. sara sidner has more. >> reporter: the family of jacob blake joining thousands in washington, rallying, to give a voice to those taken away at the hands of police. >> you must stand. you must fight. but not with violence and chaos. >> reporter: authorities revealing new details, now, about jacob blake's past and the circumstances surrounding the shooting that left blake paralyzed. the sheriff saying he is cuffed to his hospital bed because blake has felony warrants for his arrest, including one from july for third-degree sexual assault. the restraints, highly criticized by blake's family. >> when i walked into that room. you know, he's paralyzed from the waist down. why do they have that cold steel on my -- my son's ankle? he -- he -- he -- he can't get up. he couldn't get up, if he wanted to. so what -- what was -- that's a little overkill to have him shackled to the bed.

i -- that just makes no sense to me. >> reporter: friday afternoon, blake's local attorney says the cuffs were finally removed. and blake's warrants, vacated. and dispatch audio from the moments before blake's shooting is shedding a little more light on why police approached him. >> jacob blake isn't supposed to be there and took the complainant's keys and is refusing to give them back. >> reporter: and new information about the 17 yaefrld accused of shooti shooting and killing two people, and injuring another. kyle rittenhouse can be heard on the phone telling someone i just killed somebody. hanna giddings boyfriend, showed here, died trying to stop the gunman.

>> it was his city. like he wanted to make it better. he wanted to stay in this house with me and our daughter and raise her here. and make it a better place. >> blake's father says these two shootings are an example of two different justice systems in america. >> that 17-year-old caucasian shot and killed two people, and blew another man's arm off on his way back to antioch, illinois. he got to go home. my son got icu and paralyzed, from the waist down. those are the two justice systems right in front of you. you can compare them, yourself. >> and to that end, we are now getting more details on what led up to the shooting of jacob blake. according to the kenosha police association, they are saying that blake, indeed, had a knife on him. that officers asked him to drop it. that he did not comply. they also say they tried to use taser. that they were -- that he was in a tussle with an officer. and that when he was going to his car, they were actually called out there because he had

stolen keys, according to them. and was, maybe, attempting to take the vehicle, as well. obviously, his three kids, inside that vehicle. and he turned his back. and -- and you can see the video. from there, he turns his back. the officer grabs his shirt. ends up firing at him seven times. hitting him in the back, and paralyzing him. so those are the details that are coming out now from the police association. to be clear, they are not the investigating agency. that is the state department of justice who is looking into this case. and they are, of course, not the official police spokesman or the police chief in this case. an odd way to get information out. it is not coming from an official source but it is coming from the agency, the group, that supports police officers. we have also heard from jacob blake's family about these allegations. and they are adamant. they say jacob blake did not have a weapon on him. sara sidner, cnn, kenosha. and u.s. president donald trump made his first public comments on jacob blake's case friday.

on an airport tarmac in new hampshire, mr. trump was asked whether the shooting was justified. this was his response. >> i'm looking into it, very strongly. i'll be getting reports, and i'll certainly let you know pretty soon. but i'll be -- it was -- it was not a good sight. i didn't like the sight of it, certainly. and i think most people would agree with that. but we'll be getting reports in very soon, and we'll report back then. and facebook is under fire for the way it handled the militia group that encouraged armed people to come to kenosha wednesday night. in a town hall meeting, ceo mark zuckerberg said, in part, quote, what's going on in kenosha is really, deeply troubling. on second review, doing it more sensitively, the team that's responsible for dangerous organizations recognized this violated the policies and we took it down. coming up. a huge crowd gathered on the white house lawn. and, well, as you can see in this video, there are not a lot of masks. we'll talk about the u.s. and its fight against coronavirus, next. plus, several countries in

>> announcer: ladies and gentlemen, in accordance with new hampshire code 63, please, wear your masks. >> you can hear it there. jeers at a trump rally in new hampshire. supporters of the u.s. president trump booing. and they weren't the only reluctant ones. gathering on the white house lawn in what's been called a potential superspreader event to hear the president's speech at the republican national convention. nick watt tells us how america is coping with the virus. >> like those brave americans before us, we are meeting this challenge. >> reporter: but now, our president is leading by bad example. no distance. few masks. and many places prohibit gatherings like these. all brushed off by a senior white house official with this. everybody is going to catch this thing, eventually. one prominent model now projects

around 135,000 more americans could be killed by covid-19 by december 1st. remember, last week, we were told -- >> next week, you're going to start seeing the death rate really start to drop. >> reporter: but if that new projection is true, our average, daily death toll, still, hovering around a thousand, will actually rise. right now, we're, also, seeing record rates of infection in the dakotas, minnesota, and iowa, where the governor just closed all bars in the hardest-hit counties, including some college towns. because? >> it is increasing the virus activity in the community. and it's spilling over to other segments of the population. >> reporter: 8,000 cases and counting on college campuses across the country, as students return. but, here's the good news. nationally, new case counts are falling. new york's infection rate. the lowest since all this began. and the white house has announced the purchase and production of 150 million new

15-minute tests. >> it really could be game changing. before you go to school. before you go to work. it could catch a lot more of the asymptomatic cases that we're currently not catching, at all. >> reporter: plus, there's complex concern over logistics. >> we don't know exactly how many doses we're going to have. we don't know, at what time, we're going to have those doses as we approach the end of the year. >> reporter: the cdc telling governors it is rapidly making preparations to implement large-scale distribution of covid-19 vaccines in the fall of 2020. asking states to be quick with their permitting process. but -- >> we can't afford a thousand deaths a day until the vaccine. we need to adopt a control-and-containment strategy, in the united states. >> reporter: instead, the president's tacet message, up close, unmasked, totally cool. >> meanwhile, in los angeles,

misdemeanor charges against two tiktok stars who allegedly held house parties with hundreds of people. now, the city attorney said that, because they had 19 million followers between them, they should be setting a better example. meanwhile, the president, who has more than 85 million followers on twitter, just hosted more than a thousand people on the nation's front lawn. nick watt, cnn, los angeles. california is reopening, again. but this time, it will take things slowly and more cautiously. starting friday, counties must wait a minimum of 21 days before they can ease covid restrictions. they, also, need to meet reopening guidelines, for two weeks straight. now, previously, the state was criticized for reopening too quickly. and as a result, there was a resurgence in coronavirus cases and deaths. several countries in europe are, now, on high alert. they're reporting big jumps in covid-19 cases.

spain and france are among the worst hit, with daily infections around what was seen in march. italy, the uk, ireland, and germany, are, also, seeing their numbers trend up. but the good news is that, so far, the number of deaths hasn't matched the spike in new cases. so, let's discuss what might be happening, here. so joining me, now, from lancaster, england, is mohammed munir. he is a virologist at lancaster university. thank you, very much, for joining us. i appreciate it. when it comes to covid, unfortunately, so much of the medical has become political. so that's where i want to start, here. when you hear that, you know, thousands of covid skeptics are planning to protest in berlin. when you hear a crowd of -- at a political rally for president trump is told that wearing masks was required by state law, and the crowd boos. what goes through your mind? is it possible to get a grips -- a grip on the disease, if those responses represent the attitudes of so many people?

>> not really, kim. i mean, that is really worrisome because, i mean, still, we know that one in ten people among us, they have the only antibodies. and they are protected. the rest nine are still susceptible to the infection. and not observing social distancing, wearing masks, and -- and, probably, one of the other factor is that in those protests and gathering, people from different age groups involved which have different comorbidities, different vulnerabilities, and different disposition. viruses love to spread when people gather in protest without observing all the social measures we have been putting in place. and the problem -- the other thing is that people who do not follow the restriction, they might constitute 5% of the population. but the effort can be put by the rest 95%.

putting all those successes into a failure. >> is that what we're seeing, here, in terms of the rising numbers in europe? >> in europe, there have been many protests. particularly, in germany. people have been gathering in berlin. and i was looking on to the real pictures. pretty clear that the virus would love to spread within that communities. and particularly, those people who are protesting this restriction, they are probably the one that are least observing the measures that we've been putting in place. so overall, i think this is really worrisome and fear the spike in cases more than what we are currently seeing. >> also, worrisome. we're hearing, at least now, of two cases of covid-19 reinfection. so what does that mean, going forward, for -- for a treatment? and for a vaccine? if you can -- if you can catch, you know, various strains of this. >> yes, absolutely. that has also been very important topic, recently.

just to highlight that we are impacted on a daily basis by many different pathogens. and normally, our body does a job to eradicate those infections and don't let them establish. generally speaking, for coronaviruses, i mean, out of 24 million cases, we have only four or five reinfection cases which could be contributed by many host factors, environmental factors. and i think the important thing is most of those cases of reinfection have been asymptomatic. so meaning, the immunity established by the first infection was good enough to prevent at least the -- outcome of the second infection. the virus is mutating or overall environmental impact is making people susceptible to reinfection. but as it stand, it's not really of any concern. >> all right. well, so many things to keep an eye on here. thank you so much. muhammad munir, in lancaster, england.

we appreciate it. >> thank you, kim. >> well, we're getting two very different messages from democrats and republicans, following their national conventions. will voters be swayed by the coronavirus? or by law and order? we'll discuss that, next, after the break. stay with us. ♪ ♪ ♪

welcome back to you, our viewers, in the united states, canada, and around the world. well, as thousands marched near the white house and called for racial justice, the president of the united states had nothing to say about it. donald trump's attention was on re-election. just one day after using the

white house to wrap up the republican national convention, in defiance of longstanding tradition, he resumed holding large, political rallies, despite the ongoing pandemic. here's cnn's jim acosta. >> reporter: in a bit of counterprograming for the white house, president trump held a surprise photo op in the oval office where he issued a pardon to alice johnson. the same advocate whose prison sentence he commuted two years ago. >> we are giving alice a full pardon. i just told her. we didn't even discuss it. >> reporter: but the president refused to comment on the march and the protestors' hopes to end police brutality in the u.s. his aides shouted over our questions. a subject democratic vice presidential candidate, kamala harris, addressed in a virtual message to the demonstrators.

>> as we continue to see black men and women slain in our streets, and left behind by an economy and justice system that have, too often, denied black folks our dignity and rights. they would share our anger and pain. but, no doubt, they would turn it into fuel. >> reporter: the president and his team are trying to have it both ways. with mr. trump hammering away his law-and-order message. >> we can never allow mob rule. in the strongest possible terms, the republican party condemns the rioting, looting, arson, and violence we have seen in democrat-run cities. >> reporter: while his staffers insist mr. trump is actually a compassionate leader, ignoring his record of race-baiting, stretching back decades. >> i just wiv everyone could see the deep empathy, he shows to families, whose loved ones were killed in senseless violence. >> reporter: president also tried to pull a fast one on the

coronavirus. insisting he is just following the science in the battle against covid-19. >> my administration has a very different approach. to save as many lives as possible, we are focusing on the science, the facts, and the data. >> reporter: but that's not true. just look at the audience for his speech. hundreds of supporters sitting side by side, with few masks in sight. as one senior white house official told cnn, everybody is going to catch this thing eventually. chief of staff mark meadows all but said attendees were there, at their own risk. >> obviously, anytime that you have people together, there's the willingness that you make choices, individually. >> the rnc revealed four people have lfr tested positive for the virus, after attending convention events down in charlotte. another example of gop officials ignoring the administration's own health experts. >> any crowd, whether it's a protest or any crowd in which you have people close together, without masks, is a risk. >> despite the real danger, campaign officials say the president will be holding more big events in the coming days,

with large crowds like the one we saw on the south lawn of the white house. and just as we saw at a rally in tulsa over the summer, campaign officials will be learning in the coming days whether staffers or attendees at the speech were infected with the virus. not everybody was tested before the event. jim acosta, cnn, the white house. >> all right. to discuss all of this with us, from london, is thomas gift. he is the director of the center on u.s. politics at university college london. thank you, very much, for joining us. so both conventions have come and gone. what did you make of the republicans' efforts to portray a kinder, gentler trump? it doesn't seem, you know, sustainable, contrasted with what we saw last night. the unscripted trump back on the campaign trail. so, what's the point? >> well, what struck me most about trump's speech was its predictability. he really stuck to the standard script of painting biden as an artifice of the political left.

someone who would you understand mine so-called traditional american values. i think trump made few overtures to voters and appealed to his base, which is largely nothing new. lacking in his speech was a lucid agenda about what the party stands for. about conservative values. about what innovative policies republican party would bring to washington if trump were trump seems to think, i believe, that his best chance is to change the conventional wisdom that 2020 has to be a referendum on his record. instead, he really wants to make this more about fear of democrats and what he maligns as their radical, far left, social agenda. >> all right. so, daniel dale, cnn's fact checker, fellow canadian, must add, is getting -- for his handling of that amazing string of untruths, shall we say, president trump wove together

during his speech. but it seems no fact checker in the world can seem to make a dent on his existing support. is -- is there any cost to the lying? >> well, he is known as a teflon president because nothing seems to really stick to him. and because of that, i think trump has used that as carte blanche. essentially, a blank check for him to distort the facts. to play fast and loose with the facts. and so far, there haven't been too many consequences, at least with his base. there's about 30 to 40% of the american population that's going to stick with him, through thick and thin, through ups and downs. and, you know, if it hasn't stuck, you know, in the last three and a half years, it's unlikely that there's going to be any change in the next two months going into the election. >> all right. so what we've seen before the convention, during, and after, mr. trump is portraying himself as the law-and-order candidate. and in the potentially-key state of wisconsin, some democrats are

saying that the violence around the protests in kenosha will help trump. how do you think this unrest will play as a useful foil for trump? >> that's a really great question. it does look like trump is honing in on law and order as a central -- of his campaign platform. designed not only to appeal to his base but, also, to white, suburban voters. i think it's about fear and it's about presenting himself as the only firewall between -- and anarchy in the country. trump has really tried to do this by making the case that biden and the democrats are tepid in supporting law enforcement and that they're weak on cracking down on crime and violence. which trump says occurs disproportionately in democrat-run cities. i think that message, even though it will resonate with some, it's not entirely clear whether support for biden is strongly connected to the protest. it's possible that some voters

even see this as a strongman argument, even more so. because biden has taken a relatively balanced approach to the issue. he's demanded police accountability while, at the same time, saying he respects law enforcement and wants to give them the resources they need to do their job effectively. >> well, finally, the nba players' response to the kenosha shootings. their deal with the nba, that they can use arenas as polling places. and -- and, you know, sharing vote information and advertisements during the play offs. what kind of difference do you think this will make, given that there's been so much focus on voting rights, on disenfranchisement, and so on? >> that's a really great question. and it is interesting to note exactly what you just said. i mean, it's -- it's hard to know. a big question, i think, really, for democrats, is can they expand their core of voters? you know, can they get people to come out to the polls?

they really have accused republicans of trying to engage in voter suppression. so whether this makes a difference, in particular, i think is, very much, an open question. >> all right. we'll see. thank you so much for your analysis. appreciate it. thomas gift of ucl center on u.s. politics in london. thank you very much. >> thank you. coming up, after the break. police in berlin expect thousands of people to protest, today, against coronavirus restrictions. so we'll go, live, to the german capital for details. plus, alexei navalny's closest ally is speaking out. he tells cnn who he believes put the kremlin's most well-known critic in a coma. stay with us. ♪

leader, alexei navalny fights for his life in a german icu, his close friend and chiefs staff tells cnn he believes the russian government is responsible for the suspected poisoning. our phil black has more from berlin. >> reporter: russia's denials

about harming alexei navalny mean nothing to his closest friends and family. >> their refusal even to open up a criminal investigation proves that mr. putin is responsible. >> reporter: leo and navalny have worked together, challenging russia's president and political system for the last ten years. >> just to be clear, you believe this was -- >> based on the information i have, at this point in time, i strongly believe it's either the state or some -- well, or the part of the state. so, as of now, we don't have a proof that putin ordered it. so it might be some of the government agencies. but the level of organization, the -- the -- the poison that they used. it's not something that you can buy in a pharmacy. >> volkov says navalny always

knew the risks but they desperately hoped his popularity would protect him. making it too risky for anyone to seriously thinking about trying to kill him. they were wrong. last week, navalny began screaming, in pain, aboard a russian domestic flight. soon after, he was in a coma. russian doctors said there was no evidence of poison. but that was, quickly, contradicted when he arrived here, at berlin's charity hospital. tests here determined poisoned from a group of chemicals but not the specific substance. the kremlin says that's why there's still no reason to open a criminal investigation. >> it only could have an intention to kill. if the emergency -- would take 20 more minutes, he would not be with us now. >> navalny is russia's most prominent putin critic. through clever use of social media, he's shown repeatedly he can call huge, angry crowds to

the streets. he's exposed state corruption and the ruling elite's vast wealth. but if this was an attempted assassination, why now? volkov says the timing suggests it may have been navalny's call for russians to follow their neighbors in belarus and hold mass protests against their own government. and navalny's political machine has been working to influence coming local elections with a tactical voting campaign to stop pro-putin candidates. whatever the reason, alexei navalny's supporters believe some of his enemies made a cold calculation. the benefits of his murder would outweigh the risks of creating a political martyr. phil black, cnn, berlin. >> still, more to come on cnn. including, a look at the long, storied history of black athletes using their sport to final for social change. stay with us. eaky shopping cart] [sniffing]

the novel coronavirus, at the same time, they do believe that the right to speak your mind and the right to demonstrate is such a high and important good that it is something that needs to be able to take place. one of the things with this demonstration, the city of berlin where, obviously, this is taking place. they filed a court order to try and prevent it. saying there were health and safety risks. saying that people would not abide by the guidelines that are there. but a german court has actually said this demonstration can take place so that's exactly what's going on now. there are some very heavy restrictions in place. for instance, people are supposed to wear a mask. they're supposed to physically distance, as well. as you can see, the mask part of it isn't really happening, that much. as far as the distance is concerned, if you go over there to the gate, also, you can see people bunching up. but by and large, i don't think the crowd is large enough, yet, to have real massive groups of people. as far as the folks who come here are concerned, it's an interesting mix of people. a lot of people who just don't agree with coronavirus measures.

however, there are also, if you look over there, some flags over there of the german imperial war flag, a far-right group that operates here in germany. and also, a lot of people who don't like the press like, for instance, the gentleman behind us. >> all right. fred, listen. you know, passions on this issue, clearly, are so high. are authorities expecting any v violence? >> i mean, they certainly do believe that's something that could take place. what happened last time this demonstration took place was that the police stopped it, at some point. they said the people were not abiding by the guidelines. and there, you did have a few scuffles. but by and large, one of the things, so far, at least that we're seeing is it does appear folks that are here, while some of them certainly are part of the german far right, some of the folks you are seeing walking past me. they are, by and large, peaceful in the way they're protesting so far. there haven't been any issues.

but certainly doesn't mean police don't believe it's something that could happen as the days go on. the march is set to take place for several hours. and then, there's a long demonstration at the end of it. so, there is still a lot of time. and we're going to have to wait and see what happens. especially, if folks don't abide by the health and safety measures and the authorities believe that they have to try and make a move to stop this demonstration at some point because it is extremely large. >> yeah, as we can see. all right. listen. thank you so much. we're going to be following this story throughout the day. appreciate it. fred pleitgen in berlin. well, japanese tennis star naomi osaka has returned to the courts after she chose not to play following the jacob blake shooting. osaka wore a black lives matter shirt, before her rescheduled semifinal at the western and southern open on friday. the former world number one said she withdrew initially after watching, quote, the genocide of black people at the hands of

police. osaka said she wants to continue the fight for racial justice. >> for me, i just wanted to create awareness. i felt like the nba, it's been talked about. everyone wore shirts. so i just wanted to create awareness in the tennis bubble. and i think i did my job, i guess. >> well, when nba basketball players and other professional athletes refused to play this week, they were participating in a long tradition of protest. ever since the civil rights movement, many black athletes have used their sports to get their message across. ryan todd has that story. >> reporter: as lebron james put it in a tweet, change doesn't happen with just talk. the los angeles lakers star and members of the milwaukee bucks take the lead in refusing to participate in the nba's play off games. making a powerful statement about the shooting of jacob blake. >> despite the overwhelming plea for change, there has been no action. so, our focus today cannot be on

basketball. >> we are calling for justice for jacob blake, and demand the officers be held accountable. >> reporter: this comes four years after 49ers quarterback, colin kaepernick, first took a knee to protest the oppression of african-americans. but for many decades, black athletes in america have taken some of the most powerful and the riskiest measures to call attention to racial injustice. >> they come from a place of sincerity. that most people can look at them and go, all right, they sort of, automatically, kind of get it. >> in the 1960s, as the vietnam war raged, boxing's electrifying heavyweight champion, mohammed ali, refused to be inducted into the u.s. military. his impassioned arguments became legendary like when he spoke of why he didn't want to kill viet kong soldiers. >> in the olympics in mexico city, americans who had won gold and bronze medals wore black

gloves and socks and raised their fists on the medal stand to call injustice and poverty. the first to open the u.s. and wh tenn tennis titles, in all those cases, the athletes paid a steep price for taking a stand. >> they come home, and their lives and their families' lives, in a lot of ways, were ruined. you know, irreparable damage. mohammed ali's. his career. and his freedom, in some ways. damaged. colin kaepernick loses his nfl career because of it. the stakes, in going all in, are tremendous. >> reporter: one columnist believes this latest protest by nba players could end up being the most powerful statement of them all. >> they sat out postseason games, which no nfl player, nba player, athlete, of any kind,

ever wants to do. they work, their whole lives, to get to the postseason. to get to the play offs. >> reporter: the analysts we spoke to say this is just the beginning of protests like this. that this protest, led by the nba players, reflects the fact that athletes, now, realize the power they have. they have more control over the money, the tv viewership, the public images of their respective leagues, than they've ever had before. brian todd, cnn, washington. >> well, that wraps this hour of cnn "newsroom." i'm kim brunhuber. thanks for watching. for viewers in the u.s. and canada, "new day's" just ahead. and for everyone else, it's tech for good. lactaid is 100% real milk, just without the lactose.
