Stevie Wonder is sounding the alarm about deteriorating civil rights in America.
The Grammy winner gave an impassioned speech in defense of civil rights on Tuesday night, while being honored with the Icon Award during the NAACP Legal Defense Fund's 34th National Equal Justice Awards Dinner. "A woman's right to control her body, the right to vote and our precious civil liberties are under assault," Wonder said to the audience."Did you know that? Do you all know that? Without question. America is at a time of crisis, please hear me loud and clear.
"Wonder, who was presented his award by actress Rita Moreno, went on to say,"Let me be clear, America is right, stands strong as a world leader as a fighter for democracy around the world, but it must not forget to fight the war in poverty here in the United States of America.
