Pharrell Williams dropped to both knees during his set at the Concert for Charlottesville Sunday night, joining in protests against President Trump’s criticism of NFL athletes who kneel during the national anthem in protest of police brutality and racial inequality. “I wanna get on my knees right now,” Williams said while performing at the concert, an event hosted by Dave Matthews Band promoting unity in the wake of last month’s deadly white supremacist protests and clashes in the Virginia town. “If I want to get on my knees right now for the people of my city, for the people of my state, that’s what that flag is for,” the singer said, referring to the U.S.
