Public Enemy’s political statements

Public Enemy used their platform to spread several political messages at “Made In America.” Before Public Enemy began their performance, two men dressed in black and fatigue walked across the stage holding a banner that read: “Free Mumia Abu Jamal and Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin.” Chuck D also blasted the governor of Pennsylvania because the state approved to build a $400 million prison and close 23 schools in Philadelphia. They also announced that the group donated $10,000 to help fund inner city schools in the city. After 25 years, Public Enemy continues to be a leading voice of reason in hip-hop.
