[May 16]
Going green as a Hollywood celebrity involved being more than eco friendly. It also includes a component of humanitarianism. Musician Carlos Santana showed he has good will game when he hit a home run with statements he made at a baseball game. In front of a crowd while winning an award, he voiced a very candid and spot on opinion about immigration law, knocking his point out of the park by making a great call. As a well-known and beloved Latin American performer, Carlos Santana was given the Beacon of Change award before the Atlanta Braves’ fifth annual Civil Rights Game on Sunday May 15. While the team focused on their game against the Philadelphia Phillies, Santana used the public speaking opportunity during his award acceptance speech to criticize both residents and politicians of Arizona and Georgia for their new immigration laws. Saying he represented illegal immigrants and was speaking out on behalf of them as well as legal immigrants like himself, the Grammy award-winning artist told the crowd at Turner field, “The people of Arizona, and the people of Atlanta, Georgia, you should be ashamed of yourselves.”
