John Legend shows support for #TakeAKnee with beautifully written article

John Legend has the voice of an angel, and now he's using it to speak up about the recent #TakeAKnee protests which have divided U.S. politics.

In an article written for Slate, Legend lays out why the protests are not a display of unpatriotic feeling, but rather a statement against racial inequality and police violence. He neatly dissects the accusation that kneeling constitutes an attack on the flag, pointing to the flag's symbolic value.
