Kanye Breaks the Telethon

After Hurricane Katrina decimated New Orleans in 2005, Kanye West goes on NBC’s telethon Concert for Hurricane Relief and famously says, “George Bush doesn’t care about Black people” to a live national audience. This becomes one of the very first viral moments, but more importantly, a spark that galvanized a generation laying the groundwork for the Black Lives Matter movement.
