Fifty-three years after Bob Marley wrote the song, Americans continue to face inequality, systemic racism, and a long, painful history of violence in the black and minority communities. In response, Los Angeles-born singer Nakkia Gold is taking action through the immediate release of her single “Justice (Get Up, Stand Up),” which has already gained national attention.
Nakkia Gold commented, “The struggle has made us strong. This is the moment to break through the chains of social injustice.

In 1979, he formed the popular all-star fusion band Steps, which later morphed into the long-running Steps Ahead and is still going strong today.
