Stevie Wonder Launches a Boycott of Florida

Story from Urbanbuzz

After the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the death of Trayvon Martin, Stevie Wonder has signed, sealed and delivered his own verdict for the state of Florida. The musical icon says he is boycotting the Sunshine State until its "Stand Your Ground" law, which was cited at Zimmerman's trial, is reversed. "Until the 'Stand Your Ground' law is abolished, I will never perform there again," he said to cheers. "As a matter of fact, wherever I find that law exists, I will not perform in that state or in that part of the world."

We can now add Eddie Levert, Maze featuring Frankie Beverly, Jay-Z, Justin Timberlake, Patti LaBelle, Parliament/Funkadelic, Madonna, Alicia Keys, Usher, Will.I.Am, R. Kelly, Trey Songz, Mary Mary, Erykah Badu, Mary J. Blige, Kanye West, Wale, Young Jeezy, Charlie Wilson, Joe, Ciara, Kelly Rowland, Keyshia Cole, Stephanie Mills and DL Hughley to the growing list of artists who refuse to perform in Florida until the laws are changed.
