Musicians Gather for Concert to Focus Attention to Race Relations

NEW YORK (AP) — Pharrell Williams says communities torn apart by race don’t need another song — they need action. Williams is one of the performers for the “Shining A Light” concert that will tape tomorrow in Los Angeles and be shown on A-and-E on Friday. Other performers include John Legend, Alicia Keys, Bruce Springsteen, Smokey Robinson, Zac Brown Band, Eric Church, Miguel, Pink, Tom Morello, Aloe Blacc, Big Sean, Nick Jonas, Ed Sheeran and Sting. Legend says it’s not enough for them to come together and play songs, but to have important conversations as a nation about pain and mistrust.
