Connection to Present Day
Beyonce wore the same black and gold color palate, and even appeared to have the same amo style embellishments across her chest at the Super Bowl 2016. Michael Jackson wore the same clothes in 1993 during the Super Bowl. Beyonce and Michael Jackson has been subject to criticism throughout her career that does not align with the black community. Beyonce and Jackson walked this line throughout their careers, with their millions- dollar Pepsi deals and closely chronicled friendships. Decades into their respective careers and still at the top of their game, chose to make such bold artistic statements reminding the world of their blackness. The message of song Bad and Formation is yes, we are the biggest stars in the world but, we are not immune to the pangs of racism.
