Recipients Of Donations From Prince's Concert Announced
BALTIMORE (AP) -- The recipients of the proceeds from Prince's "Rally 4 Peace" concert last month have been announced in a press release sent by the entertainer's publicist.
The Baltimore Sun reports the NAACP's Afro-Academic, Cultural, Technological and Scientific Olympics and the city's YouthWorks and OneBaltimore programs will receive the money. The amount of money to be donated was not disclosed.
On May 10, Prince performed a wide range of hits and his new song, "Baltimore," a protest anthem for the death of Freddie Gray, who died April 19, a week after he suffered a spinal injury during his arrest and transport without a seatbelt by Baltimore police.
On May 7, Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake announced the OneBaltimore initiative as an effort to address the city's deeply rooted problems.
