The Last Word with Matt Cooper
Many members of the music industry have been taking part in the #BlackoutTuesday initiative in response to the murders of black citizens by the police. The action, accompanied by the hashtag #TheShowMustBePaused, calls for a day to disconnect from work. It was started by music industry executives Jamila Thomas and Brianna Agyemang "in observance of the long-standing racism and inequality that exists from the boardroom to the boulevard."
