5. Jamie Foxx

Jamie Foxx has been openly passionate about the Trayvon Martin murder trial since February 2012, and he’s known for rocking t-shirts with the late teen’s face printed on the front.

“The reason for the shirt is that I met his mom personally. So my thing is, it’s not political, it’s not left, it’s not right, it’s not black, it’s not white, this is about the kid,” Foxx said after the 2013 BET Awards.”And so, 17 year old kid, I think he should be able to go home to where his father worked, to get into a nice place and that tragic thing happened — for all of us, no matter what color you are. I have kids [one who is] 19. I have a kid who’s 4. You want to protect them.”
