“We remain haunted, generation after generation, by our original sin of slavery.' Bruce Springsteen took to the SiriusXM airwaves to reflect on the protest movement that has erupted all over America
Bruce Springsteen took to the SiriusXM airwaves to reflect on the protest movement that has erupted all over America.took to the SiriusXM airwaves on Wednesday morning to play songs as part of his ongoingseries on E Street Radio and reflect on the protest movement that has erupted all across America in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death. The songs he picked throughout the two-hour broadcast were all about political protest and racial injustice.
“As we speak, 40 million people are unemployed,” he continued. “100,000 plus citizens have died from COVID-19 with only the most tepid and unfeeling response from our White House. As of today, our black citizens continue to be killed unnecessarily by our police on the streets of America. As of this broadcast, the country is on fire and in chaos.”
He also played the Billie Holiday classic “Strange Fruit.” “One of the darkest songs in the American canon,” Springsteen said. “The video of the death of George Floyd is a 21st century visual lynching and ‘Strange Fruit’ was written about the lynchings about black Americans after the Reconstruction and into the 20 century.”
