"On Monday 1/18/21 MLK DAY we are releasing a music video tribute, " Long Time Coming", as A CALL FOR PEACE & UNITY IN THE NATION in honor of the Legacy of Dr King & the 11th Annual Peace Week in NYC," commented Namel Norris, founder of 4 Wheel City. "The video highlights our journey over the past 15 years from making music in Rick's apartment in the Bronx to being invited to speak at the Whitehouse and perform on Capitol Hill. It makes a connection to how our visit is similar to Dr.King's when he visited to speak about the Civil Rights Act of 1964."
