On Thursday, Dave Matthews returned to Pay It Forward Live, Verizon’s entertainment series in support of small businesses affected by COVID-19, for a second live-streamed concert following the series’ kick-off with Matthews on March 26.While he spoke about the importance of mask-wearing and gave shout-outs to some of his favorite small businesses in Charlottesville, Va. (including Bodo’s Bagels, Market Street Wine Shop, and Local Food Hub), he also went off-script to speak out about George Floyd — a 46-year-old black man who died on May 25 after white Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for at least seven minutes while he was handcuffed and lying face-down on the road. Floyd’s shocking killing has sparked national protests (some of which have turned violent, and worsened on Thursday evening) and has re-sparked national conversations about racism and police brutality.
