At one time, Dak Prescott was slammed by the Black community for speaking out against the NFL players who protested police brutality by kneeling for the national anthem.
Prescott, who was born to a Black father and a white and Native American mother, said while he doesn’t think that looting and violence will bring justice for Black people, he believes protesting is a sign of power.
“As our communities take action protesting and fighting for the justice of George Floyd and every Black life, I am with you,” he wrote in a June 3 Instagram post.
Chauvin is the former Minneapolis police officer who knelt on Floyd’s neck during a May 25 arrest.
After people saw Prescott’s message, most praised him, with one person writing, “LEADERSHIP, proud of you brother.”
