does that translate to you? what are your thoughts? >> first of all, trump came here, he did not pay his condolences to the family of jacob blake. he was talking to the police. when we take that, it looks like he is not supporting us with our black lives matter movement, but he is supporting his supporters. not even acknowledging that there is systemic racism. motivate the police to keep going the way it's going right now. it is important for us as people to stand up, to show up, to show that we are not silent and we're going to be here and protest him. >> we have been talking to a lot of citizens of kenosha. but also other cities like minneapolis. you are from chicago, which has its own set of problems.

a way to live together and overcome the burden of systemic racism and police brutality. >> your generation, what do you expect? you are 19 years old and i am much older. we talked to a lot of people who say it is for the next generation, for your age group to really bring about change and to bring the message home that has to change now or again it will not change for decades. would you say this is true? we heard this from many people. would you say that is true and do you have expectations for your generation here in the united states to change things? >> yes. i expect my generation to vote, to be involved, to be political, and to express our feelings.
