MIDWEEK MUSINGS reflect the rumblings of the New Orleans Superbowl LIX. I actually heard one succinct description that I want to highlight because we need to reflect on what happened on that field... There are all sorts of messages. Was it a masterpiece that went way over the heads of those who really need to understand?
The following are words spoken by Dejon Campbell.
"Ledisi sung the National Black Anthem.
Jon Batiste sung the National Anthem.
Kendrick Lamar KDot performed at the halftime show with all black dancers who were danced in red, white and blue. They formed themselves into the American flag and sent multiple messages throughout the entire performance of what it means to be Black in America and there were other messages weaving through the performance that I'm still breaking down.
Samuel L Jackson narrated the entire thing dressed as Uncle Sam.
Serena Williams made an appearance and danced
My wife Sza performed.
And then to top it all off, the Eagles won against the Chiefs- 40 to 22. .The Eagles, their quarterback, Jalen Hurts is a black man.
The Revolution was televised. The Revolution was televised, and it was televised on one of the largest stages ever...
Good Night and Happy Black History Month."
