Dakota Johnson is also one the celebrities spoken out throughout this hard time of America due to the national protests. She posted a quote of Nelson Mandela on Instagram and wrote, "It is mind bending, horrifying and completely unacceptable that any human being fear for their life or lose their life because of the color of their skin. Enough is enough."
