The music industry is taking a knee on Tuesday in solidarity with the black community to protest police killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery. An initiative called #TheShowMustBePaused — created by Jamila Thomas of Atlantic Records and Brianna Agyemang of Platoon — calls upon the industry to take a day for "an honest, reflective, and productive conversation about what actions we need to collectively take to support the Black community."Twitter account for the movement
states. “The music industry is a multi-billion dollar industry. An industry that has profited predominantly from Black art. Our mission is to hold the industry at large, including major corporations + their partners who benefit from the efforts, struggles, and successes of Black people accountable. … This is not just a 24-hour initiative. We are and will be in this fight for the long haul. A plan of action will be announced.
Few details were offered about what the initiative is asking those taking part to specifically do — or not do — but the movement picked up speed as artists, labels, and media companies announced their support. Several musicians referred to it as a "blackout" and vowed to "disconnect from work and reconnect with our community," while others left their plans a little more ambiguous.
