Music Icons Rally for Kamala Harris’ Presidential Nomination at Democratic National Convention

Following Morris, the legendary Stevie Wonder took the stage, offering both words of wisdom and a stirring performance of “Higher Ground” from his acclaimed 1973 album Innervisions. The song, with its message of perseverance and hope, echoed the evening’s theme. Wonder urged the crowd to remember this pivotal moment in history and to stand with courage in the face of challenges. His powerful declaration that “we must choose courage over complacency” left a lasting impact on the attendees, underscoring the significance of the event.

The night also saw John Legend, a longtime supporter of Harris, take the stage with Sheila E. for a vibrant tribute to Prince, performing “Let’s Go Crazy” from the iconic Purple Rain album. In addition to the musical performances, the evening featured speeches from prominent political figures, including Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, who accepted the vice presidential nomination, and former President Bill Clinton. As Harris prepares to formally accept the presidential nomination on Thursday night, with a performance by P!nk on the schedule, the momentum and unity within the Democratic Party continue to build toward the 2025 election.
