Willie 'Prophet' Stiggers was awarded by the National Action Network. The Black Music Action Coalition founder was honored for his activism.
for his commitment to the youth program, as well his lifelong activism in the music industry and within the Black community.Prophet first joined the National Action Network two years after its launch in 1993 and spearheaded the youth movement for the organization. He began to work closely with Sharpton, building chapters across the country and becoming a youth activist in the New York metro area. Prophet launched BMAC in 2020, modeling the advocacy organization’s blueprint after NAN.
Prophet added, “The activist giant in me woke up in 2020. Society was not going to use the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery to share generic posts and act as if the knee of this country hasn’t been on the necks of Black artists and civilians for decades. My goal was to hold the industry accountable. Many people at the time didn’t know this other passionate, activist side of me and were shocked.
Under Prophet’s leadership, BMAC has been committed to holding the music industry accountable while creating new pipelines of access and opportunity, both artistically and economically, for the Black artist community.Billy Joel Fans Not Feeling Alright After Network Cuts 100th Madison Square Garden Show Broadcast During ‘Piano Man’Yes, Lana Del Rey’s Headlining Coachella Set Was Perplexing — And Profound.
