One of Jill’s most powerful performances ever…
A&E launched a campaign on race equality after the terrible murders of the Charleston 9. To help with it’s launch A&E created a concert series, and episode one has everyone talking. “Shining A Light: A Concert for Progress on Race in America” featured some of the most influential entertainers in the business. Jill Scott, Miguel, Tori Kelly, John Legend, and Morgan Freeman to name a few. This two hour concert aired November 19th and it’s still buzzing! Everyone is ready for the next episode. The next taping. This concert series is a great look for A&E, and for equality…A&E writes;
“‘Shining a Light: A Concert for Progress on Race in America’ is a two-hour special event featuring the biggest names in music as they join together to perform, promote unity and progress on racial equity, and encourage reconciliation and positive change in local communities..
