After the deadly police shootings in Dallas, the West Coast rappers hosted a peaceful town rally, marching to L.A.’s police headquarters to demand unity and a cease of police brutality on people of color. The rappers expressed that they were not there to bash police, but to inspire conversation and get one step closer to fixing the problem. It was a powerful representation of how to start dialogue with respect.  (Photo: FREDERIC J. BROWN/AFP/Getty Images)
