Common And John Legend Give Moving Acceptance Speech For 'Glory'

ABC, The Oscars, Feb. 22, 2015. Legend: We wrote this song for a film, ‘Selma’ is now because the struggle for justice is right now. We know that the Voting Rights Act that they fought for 50 years ago is being compromised right now in this country today. We know that right now the struggle for freedom and justice is real. We live inthe most incarcarated country in the world. There are more black men under correctional control today than were under slavery in 1850. When people are marching with our song, we want to tell you we are with you, we see you, we love you and march on.
