Watch Peaceful Protesters Come Together to Sing "Lean on Me" Outside the White House

Protesters in Washington DC united for a powerful and peaceful moment on Wednesday night, as they sang together in front of a blockaded White House. As demonstrators continued to call for justice for George Floyd and countless other slain Black Americans, singer Kenny Sway set up in the middle of the crowd for a poignant and beautiful rendition of "Lean on Me," originally performed by Bill Withers. Protesters quickly joined in and conveyed a message of support for one another as they swayed with their phone flashlights shining.
