CNN reports that Wonder paid respects to Martin Luther King Jr. on the 50th anniversary of his death. Posted a little after 8 p.m., the tweet when up around the same time Dr. King’s death was first announced to the world 50 years ago.
Attached to the tweet was a video filled with recognizable faces like Whoopi Goldberg, Mariah Carey, The Obama’s, Common, and many more. The video was a tribute to Dr. King’s “I Have A Dream” speech.
