MADE MUSIC
TO UPLIFT CHICAGO
“I want people to feel
empowered. I want them to
feel inspired. As rough as
the days are, we have some
changes to do. We have to
start doing things
ourselves, we can’t wait
for anybody.”
- COMMON

One of the day’s most
memorable performances
was Common’s latest track,
“Black
America Again” after
he
invoked the
names of
AfricanAmerican
shooting
victims from
Laquan
McDonald
to Philando
Castile.
This philanthropic festival empowered
and educated black youth, reaffirming that
indeed there are good things happening in
urban Chicago.
