New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Most of your favorite artists and celebrities are vocal about causes that are important to them. For Darrell Kelley social activism isn't a part of his brand, it is his brand. Last week was the 100th anniversary of the horrific Tulsa Race
Massacre (1921), where white citizens armed with weapons given to them by city officials, attacked black people and destroyed their businesses. Dozens of black residents were murdered, and over 800 were gravely injured.
Darrell visited the district where the massacre took place and met with renowned civil rights attorney Ben Crump, who has defended high profile cases such as Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown and
George Floyd. Darrell and Ben spoke to the crowds in attendance about police brutality and issues affecting equality for African Americans today. Darrell also met and spoke with Dr. Malik Zulu Shabazz who is currently serving as the chairman for the New
Black Panther Party. Dr. Shabazz instantly aligned with Darrell's message and made plans to help spread Darrell's music all over the country.
