The Conversation on Race in America Is About to Take a New Turn

After the shooting that left nine members of Emanuel AME Church dead on June 17, an employee at A+E Networks asked, “Can’t we do something?”

Tonight, at 8 p.m. ET/PT, Alicia Keys, John Legend, Pharrell Williams, and many other musicians will provide an answer. In partnership with United Way and iHeartRadio, A + E Networks is hosting “Shining a Light: A Concert for Progress on Race in America.”

This is more than just another benefit concert.

“This is going to invent a hybrid, a new form,” the famous producer and director Ken Ehrlich said.
