Watch 150 West End and Broadway performers sing "Make Them Hear You" from Ragtime to remember George Floyd
Cavin Cornwall, Tommie Earl Jenkins, Emmanuel Kojo, James T Lane, Ako Mitchell, Cedric Neal, Trevor Dion Nicholas, Clarke Peters, Mykal Rand, Joe Aaron Reid, Clive Rowe, Ray Shell, Tosh Wanogho-Maud, Layton Williams, Gary Wilmot all performed the song, which appears on the 1996 award-winning musical with music by Stephen Flaherty, lyrics by Lynn Ahrens, and a book by Terrence McNally.
The musical features the story of African-American Coalhouse Walker Jr, who is shot and killed by police unjustly. It is based on the 1975 novel of the same name by E L Doctorow.
