"I have been in some kind of fight -- for freedom, equality, basic human rights -- for nearly my entire life. I have never faced a fight quite like the one I have now," he said at the time.
In his CBS interview, he discussed the growing unrest across the country following the death of George Floyd."The way this young man died, watching the video, it made me so sad. It was so painful.
