Meanwhile, superstar musician and performer Beyoncé made history at the California music festival Coachella.
Beyoncé: “Coachella, thank you for allowing me to be the first black woman to headline Coachella. Ain’t that ’bout a bitch?”
Her groundbreaking 2-hour performance celebrated black culture, paid tribute to historically black colleges and universities, and included sound bites of a speech by Malcolm X, quotes from feminist author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and songs by Nina Simone and Fela Kuti.
