Rosanne Cash en haar familieleden zeggen dat ze er beroerd van werden toen ze een video zagen waarin een neo-nazi tijdens de rellen in Charlottesville een Johnny Cash T-shirt droeg.
Rosanne Cash plaatste afgelopen woensdag een pittige opmerking op haar Facebook pagina namens familieleden Kathy, Cindy, Tara, John Carter en haarzelf.
“Johnny Cash was a man whose heart beat with the rhythm of love and social justice,” the Cash family said. “He received humanitarian awards from, among others, the Jewish National Fund, B’nai Brith, and the United Nations. He championed the rights of Native Americans, protested the war in Vietnam, was a voice for the poor, the struggling and the disenfranchised, and an advocate for the rights of prisoners”.
“Our dad told each of us, over and over throughout our lives, ‘Children, you can choose love or hate. I choose love,'” the letter continued. “We do not judge race, color, sexual orientation or creed. We value the capacity for love and the impulse towards kindness. We respect diversity, and cherish our shared humanity. We recognize the suffering of other human beings, and remain committed to our natural instinct for compassion and service”.
