50th Anniversary March on Washington Performers Provide Music for the Movement

WASHINGTON - Aug. 26, 2013 - PRLog -- (Washington, DC) – August 26, 2013…J Prophet, along with fellow Peace and Power recording artist Fancy, performed “Tie My Hands” as a part of the National Action to Realize the Dream March hosted by the family of Martin Luther King, Jr. and other various social justice organizations such as National Action Network, NAACP, and NUL. The song is from J Prophet’s recently released I Got Bread EP.

         On the hallowed steps of the Lincoln Memorial, J Prophet offered these words:  “we walk around everyday trying to prove that we’re human/ if all you see is a hoody, then zoom in/ I’m choosing to take a stand though/ screaming for the world to let my hands go.” Referring to the tragic killing of Trayvon Martin, J Prophet expresses the intergenerational desire for freedom from racial profiling and calls for the recognition of human dignity in all of God’s children.

         As a participant in the commemoration and continuation of 1963’s iconic march, J Prophet joins Marian Anderson, Joan Baez, Tony Bennett, Bob Dylan, and Mahalia Jackson as March on Washington performers.

         He says, “It’s truly an honor. I’ve always believed art has the power to be a catalytic, encouraging, and sustaining force for social issues.”
