Johnny Cash’s family has released a statement blasting the recent violence and terror attack incited by white supremacists in Charlottesville, Virginia. The family was compelled to comment after a video was released in which one of the self-proclaimed neo-Nazis is seen wearing a Johnny Cash t-shirt. “We were sickened by the association,” the fervent address posted to Rosanne Cash’s Facebook page on Wednesday, read. “Johnny Cash was a man whose heart beat with the rhythm of love and social justice,” the family said, noting his humanitarian recognitions from the Jewish National Fund, B’nai Brith, and the United Nations. “He championed the rights of Native Americans, protested the war in Vietnam, was a voice for the poor, the struggling and the disenfranchised, and an advocate for the rights of prisoners. Along with our sister Rosanne, he was on the advisory board of an organization solely devoted to preventing gun violence among children.” Copyright(c) 2017 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
