Anthony McGill, holder of a principal chair at the New York Philharmonic — the first African American to do so — played a rendition of 'America the Beautiful' and ended on his knees, protesting how 'people aren't allowed to protest.' Listen here.
This conversation, which was candid and not without its emotional moments, has been edited for clarity and length.
Yeah, that's powerful. I don't think Martin Luther King was excusing anything because his concept is nonviolence. This is what I believe in, too. But we always look at the perpetrator — we never look at the problem. And what he's talking about, is getting to the heart of the problem. Don't answer this if you don't want to, but have you ever had an uncomfortable confrontation with the police?
Does any part of you feel hopeful at the moment? It seems like we keep going through this again and again.

Police Kneeling Is Meaningless“Powerful” is how CBS News described a photograph of police kneeling at a protest over the weekend. The photograph showed police from departments across Miami-Dade county kneeling at a protest held in Coral Gables, Florida. The officers, CBS reported, kneeled in “solidarity with protesters,” promising that they would continue “dialogue” with the organizers. The gesture was performative at best, done solely for the purpose of producing an image, one that would be reproduced and celebrated as truth, made indisputable by the documentary force of the photograph. And mainstream news organizations like CBS News did just that, treating the Gables photograph as indicative of a broader sentiment that supposedly manifested everywhere from New York City to a police blockade in front of Donald Trump’s Washington, D.C. hotel to Ferguson, Missouri, and St. Paul, Minnesota, where police kneeled on their own after protesters refused to join them. The images of police kneeling suggested that there are plenty of good cops invested in the sentimental project of national unity—perhaps even “healing,” as the rhetoric usually demands—even as images of protesters being brutalized by police forces proliferated.
