A Letter to America

Meet Amandla and Indigo! Lifelong friends from Oakland, California who are passionate about speaking out against injustice and providing a youth perspective on being Black in America. A Letter to America was born in May 2020, following the beating of 14 year old Elijah Tufono by a police officer in Rancho Cordova, just a few weeks before the horrific murder of George Floyd and the historic protests that subsequently rocked the world. Join Amandla and Indigo as they use their platform to amplify the voices of a generation determined to change the course of American history.
