Lisa Simone, daughter of musician and American civil rights activist Nina Simone, performed at the Council of Europe's 2017 World Forum for Democracy (WFD) on Wednesday.
openDemocracy is reporting from the WFD in Strasbourg, France which this year is focused on the question: Is populism a problem?
“My mother stood, in her own way, for justice and civil rights," said Simone. "To be here doing what I love, singing songs that hopefully uplift lives and hearts and souls, is how I choose to carry out this legacy."
