Music and Social Justice
Bruce Springsteen was awarded the Harry Belafonte Voices for Social Justice Award on Saturday, but the musician remained humble, stating that he didn't feel deserving of the honor. "I don't even really consider myself an activist," he said during a talk with Bono. "I'm a little embarrassed to get this award tonight, because I feel like at best I'm a concerned citizen." Springsteen dedicated the award to the citizens of Minneapolis, L.A., and Portland, who "stood against the federal invasion of their cities."
