What a night! Rapper Common and Singer John Legend are now Academy Award winners for their original song, "Glory" for the movie "Selma".
Common said [during his acceptance speech] the bridge Dr. King and his protestors marched across is no longer just a symbol for Civil Rights -- it's a symbol for discrimination based on "race, gender, religion and sexual orientation. This is for the kid from the South Side of Chicago to those in France standing up for freedom of expression to those in Hong Kong protesting for democracy."
