Cori Gauff and Naomi Osaka are extremely active in recent days after the murder of George Floyd that has further exposed the widespread racism that is still rife in the US.
Both Coco and Naomi took the streets to vent their anger for the police brutality against the black community to spread the message “Black lives Matter” also on social media. Coco also impressed for a heartfelt speech in Delray Beach when she talked about the importance of voting to defend the rights of the black community.
Coco Gauff, Naomi Osaka and Martin Luther King
Coco recently shared her appreciation for Martin Luther King Jr. posting one of his famous quotes: “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” Naomi was ready to welcome the post saying: “Nothing but respect for my president.”
It’s great to see the “new generation” being so active in defending the rights of their community.
