<p>So lets talk about how Common and John Legend shut it down last night! If you missed the Golden Globes it&#8217;s cool&#8230;but you have to catch up on Common&#8217;s acceptance speech. I don’t know about you guys but Common’s acceptance speech last night at the Golden Globes brought us straight chills!</p>
<p>&#8220;The first day I stepped on the set of &#8216;Selma&#8217; I began to feel like this was bigger than a movie. I got to know the people of the Civil Rights Movement, I realized I am the hopeful black woman who was denied her right to vote. I am the caring white supporter killed on the front lines of freedom. I am the unarmed black kid who maybe needed a hand, but instead was given a bullet. I am the two fallen police officers murdered in the line of duty. &#8216;Selma&#8217; has awakened my humanity.&#8221;</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: inherit;">Along side Common was John Legend both standing in front of the star studded event to accept the award for Best Original Song for their song &#8220;Glory&#8221; from the film Selma. With a teary eyed Oprah and many others in the audience cheering them on, we are just glad that every day we are making history yall!</span></p>
