Bruce Springsteen and Colin Kaepernick were honored with the ACLU’s Ralph Ellison Award for Defenders of Civil Rights and Civil Liberties at the ACLU Biennial Leadership Conference in Washington, D.C., with Springsteen using the moment to praise everyday Americans and defend democratic principles while performing “Streets of Minneapolis.” The event underscored Springsteen’s ongoing advocacy for civil liberties and his credit to those who work to protect neighbors’ rights.
