Quote:
A&E and iHeartMedia will present a concert, currently titled “Shining a Light: A Concert for Progress on Race in America,” on Nov. 20. The two-hour show will be followed by a one-hour special that will feature the artists "engaging a diverse group of residents in local communities at the center of the national conversation on racial inequality and violence," a press release says. The artists will go to communities like Charleston, Baltimore, Chicago and Ferguson.
Here's the full, star-studded lineup of artists, who will perform a series of duets: Zac Brown Band, Eric Church, Jamie Foxx, Rhiannon Giddens, Tori Kelly, John Legend, Miguel, Pink, Jill Scott, Ed Sheeran, Sia, Bruce Springsteen, Sting and Pharrell Williams.
