When Beyonc� took to the field during the Super Bowl 50 halftime
show, she apparently had a political message to convey.
Clad in a black leotard with a gold embellished jacket, Beyonc�
was flanked by dancers who sported afros and black berets,
reportedly in reference to the Black Panther Party. Beyonc�s
outfit was also a nod to Michael Jackson.
At one point during the performance the backup dancers and
Beyonc� gave a salute, and they later formed an X formation,
which the Twitterverse was quick to declare was a reference to
Malcom X.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Black Panther Party.
Many praised Beyonce for her bold statements during the
performance.
And if there was any doubt that Beyonc�s performance was
politically-charged, her dancers were also filmed in a video
that was posted on the Black Lives Matter Twitter page shortly
after the halftime show.
In the clip, the dancers hold up a sign that reads �Justice 4
Mario Woods.�
Woods was shot and killed in San Francisco by police officers on
the afternoon of Dec. 2 after he refused commands to drop an 8-
inch knife he was carrying.
