Jay-Z and Roc Nation have taken out full-page newspaper ads dedicated to the memory of George Floyd
The ad includes an extended quote from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., from a March 1965 address in Selma, Alabama. “A man dies when he refuses to stand up for that which is right,” it reads. “A man dies when he refuses to stand up for justice.
A man dies when he refuses to take a stand for that which is true. So we’re going to stand up amid horses. We’re going to stand up right here, amid the billy-clubs. We’re going to stand up right here amid police dogs, if they have them. We’re going to stand up amid tear gas!”
