Hunger Games Star Amandla Stenberg Calls Out White Pop Stars for Appropriating Black Culture
The Mary Sue: Amandla Stenberg may already be well-known for roles like Rue in The Hunger Games and Macey Irving on Sleepy Hollow, but she’s still just a 16-year-old who sometimes has to do assignments for her history class.
