Bruce Springsteen Accepts ACLU Award and Performs Streets of Minneapolis | ACLU [MeFQMb6QaBm]
History has shown us that all it takes to make a difference is a few concerned citizens banding together to defend our communities. Bruce knows that too. That's why we're so proud to honor Bruce Springsteen with the ACLU Ralph Ellison Award for Defenders of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties, in recognition of his lifetime contributions to American thought and culture. In a rare move, earlier this year Bruce authorized our use of “Born in the U.S.A.” for an ad campaign highlighting what’s at stake in the Supreme Court case involving birthright citizenship, Trump v. Barbara. Upon receiving the award, Bruce shared a moving performance of his protest song "Streets of Minneapolis," written in response to the ICE killings of Renée Good and Alex Pretti.
