Wale and Rev. Jamal Bryant spoke at Fredrick Douglas High School in Baltimore today, which is the first day back at school for students since the protests began earlier in the weekin response to the death of Freddie Gray. He spoke to students about his own personal experiences with the police and how it's frustrating a lot of the time, but made clear that he wanted to listen to what the students had to say.

"We need each other. We need our community leaders to come step forward and we need these kids to understand that somebody believes in them. I believe in them, Jamal believes in them and there's a lot of people in this community that believe in these kids," Wale said.
