‘Why I Protest’: leonbridges on heartbreak and hope in the fight for equality
In the music video for “Sweeter,” Leon Bridges’ new single with Terrace Martin, the singer-songwriter goes home -- back to his old neighborhood on the Southside of Fort Worth, Tex., back to the Black community that helped him grow up. Old friends are featured in the clip, as well as Bridges’ father. “This is a celebration of our Blackness,” Bridges says of the video in a press statement.
What would you say to the protestors around the country and the world, especially a few weeks into the process of protesting, where they’re still so passionate about these issues? I believe that we all have a role in this race for equality. I believe that God put me on this earth to speak about those things through music. I want to find ways to bring change within my own community. I don’t really have the perfect advice for the protestors, but that’s kind of how I feel.
