Janelle Monáe Gives Black Lives Matter Movement A Melodic Voice
"Can we speak their names, as long as we have breath in our bodies?”
Janelle Monáe is known for not only her music and perfect pompadour but also her activism.
Before she kicked off "The Eephus," an eight-city tour of free shows with Jidenna and other Wondaland artists, Monáe joined forces with Black Lives Matter activists in Philadelphia.
Peacefully marching with other protesters on Wednesday, the “Yoga” singer prompted the audience to recite the names of victims of police brutality.
“Won’t you say their names?" she told the crowd, according to Vibe. "Can we say their names right now? Can we speak their names, as long as we have breath in our bodies?”
