Artists Reject D.C. Bash Amidst 250th Birthday Celebration Controversy
Despite being listed as performers for the upcoming America’s 250th anniversary celebration on the National Mall, musical artists Morris Day and the Time and Young MC have announced they will not be attending. Both artists cited that they were unaware of any political involvement with the event, with Young MC specifically stating he hopes to perform in D.C. at a less politically charged event in the future. Freedom 250, the public-private partnership behind the event, maintains its focus on uniting Americans and honoring history.
