Some protesters looted luxury stores, businesses, and vandalized buildings as a way to bring attention to police brutality.
The 52-year-old Leakes wrote a message in Pan-African colors that read, “Atlanta is a Black City!
The “Glee” actress revealed in an Instagram post on Sunday, May 31 that her store, which is located in a shopping plaza, was surrounded by police officers following the events of the riots.
