AceShowbiz - In a dramatic display of support, Beyonce Knowles delivered a powerful speech endorsing Kamala Harris for president at a rally in her hometown of Houston, Texas on Friday, October 25. The "Freedom" singer shared memories from the event on her Instagram, captioning a carousel of photos and videos with the words, "Time to sing a new song."
Beyonce's speech resonated with the crowd, as she emphasized the importance of voting and the fundamental right of women to control their bodies. "I'm not here as a celebrity, I'm not here as a politician," she said. "I'm here as a mother, a mother who cares deeply about the world my children and all of our children live in."
Kelly Rowland also took the stage, endorsing Harris and urging attendees to "grab back the pen" and write a new American story of hope and unity. Beyonce's mother, Tina Knowles, introduced the duo, as they entered the rally to the tune of Destiny's Child's "Independent Women".
The rally was part of Harris' campaign to highlight the impact of strict abortion bans in states like Texas, where reproductive rights are under attack. "No one is protected," Harris warned, stating that a national abortion ban under Donald Trump would erode women's rights across the country.
Beyonce's presence at the rally amplified Harris' message, as her 2016 track "Freedom" has become the campaign anthem for reproductive freedom. The song, which samples Jim Crow-era folk spirituals and features Kendrick Lamar, underscores the importance of fighting for rights and unity.
