Willie ‘Prophet’ Stiggers Honored at National Action Network’s Annual Convention


Willie "Prophet" Stiggers was awarded by the National Action Network. The Black Music Action Coalition founder was honored for his activism.

The Black Music Action Coalition founder was feted by the Reverend Al Sharpton for his commitment to the organization's youth program and his lifelong activism. Prophet expounded on his connection to NAN during his acceptance speech, saying, “As I spent more time in the music industry over the following decade and focused on BMAC, I faded into the shadows on the business side. Society was not going to use the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery to share generic posts and act as if the knee of this country hasn’t been on the necks of Black artists and civilians for decades.
