Famed singer-songwriter Stevie Wonder has responded to George Zimmerman's acquittal by vowing to never perform in states with so-called Stand Your Ground laws on the books. While performing Sunday evening at the QuÃ �bec City Festival, the 22-time Grammy Award winner announced his pledge in reaction to Saturday night's verdict.

"As a matter of fact, wherever I find that law exists, I will not perform in that state or in that part of the world."

Using personal stories from his many famous contacts (from Capra to Quinn), he shows how in every aspect of life we can reconnect with that which is in our DNA by replacing our artificial and oppressive hierarchical priorities via a return to a consciousness based on the kind of egalitarian relationships that we honored for most of human history."
