Tennis Majors put together for you the best that happened on social media on June, 5. Here is Social Highlights. Starring Coco Gauff, Billie Jean King, Garbine Muguruza, tennis freestyler Stefan Bojic, and … a magician.
In a powerful speech, Gauff told a crowd outside Delray Beach City Hall to engage in “tough conversations” and “use your voice”, stressing racism was a problem that involved everyone.
“And it breaks my heart because I’m fighting for the future for my brothers, said Coco Gauff on Thursday. I’m fighting for the future for my future kids. I’m fighting for the future for my future grandchildren. So, we must change now, and I promise to always use my platform to spread vital information, spread awareness and fight racism.”
On Twitter, Billie Jean King supported her :
“Thank you, @CocoGauff , for using your platform to speak to both the young and the not so young about injustice, she said. We stand with you and the entire black community.#BlackLivesMatter”
