Stevie Wonder Boycotts Florida
Stevie Wonder is putting his foot down!
The legendary singer is refusing to perform in the State of Florida until it abolishes its' Stand Your Ground Law.
George Zimmerman, the man who fatally shot Trayvon Martin and claimed self defense under the controversial law, was recently acquitted on all charges sparking outrage across the United States.
Wonder announced his decision to boycott in Quebec City, Canada on Sunday.
"The truth is that — for those that we have lost in the battle for justice, wherever that fits in any part of the world — we can't bring them back," he said. "What we can do is we can let out voices be heard. And we can vote in our various countries throughout the world for change and equality for everybody. That's what I know we can do."
