Keke Palmer
In the aftermath of Michael Brown’s death, young television host, entertainer, and entrepreneur Keke Palmer is proving that she’s more than a celebrity who just uses social media to speak out. Stepping from behind her online profile to go out to Ferguson herself and be amongst protesters, Palmer revealed that tear gas was thrown at her, while her mom was shot in the neck with pellets.
Palmer has dedicated several tweets and Instagram videos to speaking about the situation and has received mixed reactions in response to her opinion. Nonetheless, her decision to get out and protest is a testament to backing her talk up with action.
