Op-eds in The Root and HBCU Sports slammed the decision as an apparent endorsement of Trump when most Black voters feel less than celebratory about him taking office. Social media has erupted with criticism and defense of the move.
The Mean Green Marching Machine Band has “a proud history of standing up for Black history, equity, and justice,” Bishop Talbert Swan, president of the Springfield, Mass., branch of the NAACP, posted on X. “However, accepting an invitation to perform at Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration on Martin Luther King Jr. Day is a disgraceful betrayal of that legacy.
