- The full Twitter message reads as follows:
“We. Are. Freestyle. Love. Supreme.
We are for the freedom of expression, creativity, inclusion, equality, and most of all, love. Our work has always centered around creating a safe space for those ideals to flourish. Our show does not exist without the generations of brilliant Black artists that created two of our most beloved American art forms, jazz and hip-hop.
Today our country, our world struggles to reach an end to this systematic racial injustice, intolerance, police brutality and hate. We add our voices to that fight. To that struggle.
Because in this moment, our collective attention is turned toward these most pressing concerns, we have decided to postpone the premiere of our film, We Are Freestyle Love Supreme.
We believe that through activism, understanding and love, this country will realize that now is the time for lasting, real change and equity.
We are Freestyle Love Supreme.
We are for love.
We are for justice.
We are with you.
Black lIves matter.
Peace, love and power,
FLS”
