Stevie Wonder began his performance at the Global Citizen concert in New York’s Central Park on Saturday night by announcing that he was “taking a knee for America.â€
“Whenever you need to interrupt hate, stand down bigotry, condemn sexism and find love all of our global brothers and sisters everyday,†the legendary R&B singer said from the stage. “Tonight I’m taking a knee for America.â€
The musician was helped to his knee by an assistant, before announcing to the crowd: “But not just one knee. I’m taking both knees.â€
He followed by indicating that his gesture was not merely a form of protest by an act of prayer: “Both knees in prayer for our planet, our future, our leaders of the world and our globe, Amen.â€
