I can’t wait for you all to see We The People! This Higher Ground project is filled with the songs and the heart of so many of our favorite artists—but even more, it’s a rallying cry for a rising generation that’s ready to take on the world. Watch it on @Netflix on July 4! 🇺🇸 https://t.co/c8N7nb01n8

Michelle and I are excited to share our latest show from Higher Ground: We The People. Some of our favorite artists got together with amazing animators to remix civics—and the result is a lot better than what we had in school. Check it out on @Netflix this July 4. pic.twitter.com/PlsSyq5pgk

That’s what’s sticking with me here in Louisville as I see the reaction to the Breonna Taylor announcement. I’ve covered a lot of these but I don’t remember ever seeing this much hurt, this much crying from protesters.
As the only Black Woman in this room I asked @KingJames about what it means to him to protect Black Women and 😭😭.. needed this today. pic.twitter.com/UydmxUCeQu

NBA players are courageously on strike (withholding labor), NOT boycotting (withholding their $ /purchase). The diff is important bc it shows their power as *workers.*

There have been more than 4,700 demonstrations during the recent Black Lives Matter protests, an average of 140 per day.
— The New York Times (@nytimes) July 3, 2020
Estimates suggest there could have been as many as 26 million people who participated.https://t.co/eoJjSHOGkw
The recent protests peaked on June 6, when half a million people turned out in nearly 550 places across the U.S.
— The New York Times (@nytimes) July 3, 2020
That was a single day in more than a month of protests that still continue. https://t.co/eoJjSHOGkw pic.twitter.com/9oPLiVPMIL
